Teenage Pregnancy Prevention Program

What it is.

Be Proud, Be Responsible

‘Be Proud, Be Responsible’ is a six-part curriculum that provides adolescents with the knowledge, motivation, and skills necessary to change their behaviors in ways that will reduce their risk of contracting HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases and prevent teen pregnancies.

This teenage pregnancy prevention program is designed to change behavior; adolescents need to be confident in their command of key concepts and possess a perception of personal vulnerability.
