In 1998 groundbreaking public opinion research was commissioned as part of an effort to understand teen pregnancy in DC. This research revealed widespread consensus that teen pregnancy is a major problem in on par with drugs, violence and poor schools, and one that needs to be addressed now. Teens themselves put teen pregnancy second only to violence as one of the most important problems in their lives.
Acting upon concerns about teen pregnancy, one strategy was to invest in the parents of teens. Washingtonians agree that parental responsibility is vital to any and all teen pregnancy prevention efforts. They also recognize that many parents need support in talking with their children about love,sex and relationship issues. The Parent Peer Education project is that support.
Due to the popularity of Parent Peer Education, DC Campaign is making the toolkit available for community organizations, parents,caregivers and other interested individuals to help you feel more comfortable and informed when talking with teens about love, sex and relationships.
This toolkit contains all the resources needed to conduct the workshop How to Talk to Teens About Love, Sex and Relationships and the training to facilitate the workshop. Below are the numerous files in the Parent Peer Education Toolkit.
- How to Talk to Teens workshop materials
- PPE Training of Facilitators
- Training Notebook Materials
