Teen Pregnancy Prevention
Our Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program provides reproductive health training and pregnancy prevention education to at-risk predominantly Latino youth and families of Lamont, Weedpatch, and Arvin. Twenty youth and five parent educators were trained to implement community outreach and health education efforts to their peers to challenge existing cultural and social norms that discourage dialogue about reproductive health and teen pregnancy prevention.
Our Teen Summit trains youth about healthy choices through workshops and discussion forums. By encouraging teens to envision their ideal future and educating them about the costs and responsibilities associated with raising children, DHF combats teen pregnancy.
