About Me

Dania Sacks March has made learning and educating about health and wellness issues her life's focus. Making it through her adolescence relatively unscathed, she recognizes that others are not so lucky.

Dania found her passion in working with adolescents (and those who work with them) designing and delivering curriculum around adolescent health issues. In San Francisco, she coordinated the health education department of a youth-serving clinic, training and supporting high school age youth to be peer health educators. During that time she also began consulting for companies providing worksite health education.

Dania has since facilitated workshops for youth, adults, educators, service providers, parents, and those in the corporate world looking to incorporate wellness in the workspace. Currently, she coordinates an on-site holistic model of physical and mental health services for urban high school students through the San Francisco Wellness Initiative.

The issues she is most passionate about include physical and mental health promotion, harm reduction, young women's health, exercise and nutrition, violence prevention, healthy sexuality, and youth development.

Dania has a Master's Degree in Public Health and a Master's Degree in Social Work from the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor and a Pupil and Personnel Services Credential from San Francisco State University.

DaniaSacksMarch has commented on Teens and Oral Sex
“NeedsToKnow- As in the article, there are some infections that you can get from oral sex - though the risk is lower for what's transmitted during oral sex as opposed to penis-to-vagina or penis-to-anus sex. Best bet for both you and your partner is to go get tested before you engage in intercourse. You could even make it a date! Go to the clinic and then grab a bite to eat as a reward for taking responsibility for your sexual health together.”

DaniaSacksMarch has commented on 5 Things You Need to Know About Drugs
“There's some interesting information provided in this article, thank you. I do feel the need to comment about the reference to youth stealing drugs. I think while stealing may be one of the ways young people gain access to prescription meds, there are plenty of other avenues for getting such drugs. Friends, friends' parents, drug dealers, as well as family members who give teens access to the drugs are other ways in which young people find the substances for which they're looking. I hate to see young folks given a bad rap when it might not be warranted. I also thought, while reading this, that much of it applies to adults too - many of whom become addicted to prescription meds or other substances due to depression, pain, stress, and a host of other factors and who suffer many of the side effects you mention.”
