Program Objectives...
The objectives of this program are to reduce teen pregnancy by:
Providing knowledge
This is not a fear based program. Isn't reality bad enough? The goal of this program is to educate teens about the consequences of high risk behavior and give them the tools necessary to make better choices.
Enhancing decision making skills
Based on Cognitive Behavioral techniques, the series encourages the use of evidence finding to validate beliefs, instead of relying on faulty thoughts and charged emotions.
Changing attitudes and beliefs about self-worth
Teens that are ambivalent are more likely to experience negative consequences of bad decision making. These lessons are geared to improve self-worth because teens that value their bodies and future, in an effort to "protect" themselves make better choices.
