Teen PEP
About Our organization:
The Teen Prevention Education Program (Teen PEP) utilizes peer-to-peer education to increase students’ knowledge, attitudes, skills, and behaviors associated with healthy decision-making.
Teen PEP is implemented in high schools as a course for-credit that meets daily. Carefully selected junior and/or senior students are enrolled in the Teen PEP course and provided with educational training that addresses a range of topics related to sexual health. These peer educators, in turn, conduct a series of structured workshops with groups of younger peers, faculty, and parents/caregivers.
Teen PEP also includes a parent and caregiver involvement component. Peer educators organize and facilitate a Family Night event for peers and their parents/caregivers to provide an opportunity for parent-teen dialogue about sexual health issues.
