Growing Our Own Youth

Growing Our Own Youth Working hard every day to prevent teen pregnancy and grow parent- youth communication! Office: 334- We work in two main areas:

1.

Health Education - We partner with Montgomery Public Schools, as well as any other community or faith-based organization, to educate students on how to make healthy choices. We discuss topics such as: Goal Setting, Pregnancy Prevention, Sexually Transmitted Diseases, Consequences of Sex, Preventative Methods, Abstinence, Peer Pressure, Partner Pressure, Refusal Skills, and Negotiation Skills. Our

two curricula we use are Making a Difference, and Making Proud Choices, which have both been tested and proven to be effective.

2. Parent Education and Communication - We believe parents are the best teachers for their children and youth, and learning begins at a young age. We discuss how to have an open-communication relationship with your youth and children, as well as giving you the information you need to discuss tough issues with them. We would love to come into your place of work, faith-based organization, or community organization, and provide parents with necessary information of how to raise healthy teens. Please call us at 334-273-3095 or email us at [email protected] for more information!

"According to Burls, the emphasis should be on supporting young people rather than criminalising them and on educating them before they make mistakes. “Certainly we believe the best way to keep children and young people safe from abuses and exploitation is to embed any stuff around staying safe online in a really strong personal, social, health and economic education programme.”

"People between the ages of 15 and 24 who have s*x have the highest rates of STIs across the board. But from 2013 to 2014, the biggest increases in STIs were among 25 to 29 year olds."

The CDC just released their annual report card for the country's s*xually transmitted infections (STIs). The bad news is that some of the most common STIs—chlamydia and gonorrhea—seem to be on the rise.
