ABOUT US

The Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention Initiative is made up of dedicated professionals with educational degrees in Social Work, Psychology, Public Health and Community Health. All are passionate about their work with young people and want to improve the outcome of their lives. Each is a parent themselves and understands the challenges parents face in relationships with adolescents.

The Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention Specialists work to increase public awareness of problems associated with early sexual activity and childbearing and collaborate with existing community organizations to promote local activities for adolescent pregnancy prevention. APPI offers abstinence based education but includes information about contraceptives and access to family planning services.

From 9/1/08 to 7/30/09 APPI accomplished the following:
 

	Conducted 445 classroom presentations
	Conducted 179 school visits
	Conducted 29 exhibits
	Promoted National Teen Pregnancy Prevention Month and National Day on May 6, 2009, by encouraging schools to allow students to use a computer to go online to the national teen pregnancy website and take “the quiz”. This nationally promoted activity collects data from teen on their behaviors and thoughts on what they need to reduce risks.
	Promoted “Picture Your Future” for National Teen Pregnancy Prevention Month 2009. (Picture frames were distributed to high schools for prom favors if the school conducted a personal responsibility session on the topic of picturing your future without an unplanned pregnancy or STD).
