Our Bee Inspired CAPP Program Coordinator is now trained in the Be Proud! Be Responsible! Be Protective! curriculum. It is designed for adolescent mothers and pregnant girls (ages 14-18). According to ETR Associates, it emphasizes the role of maternal protectiveness in motivating adolescents to make healthy sexual decisions and decrease risky sexual behavior. It provides participants with the knowledge, motivation, & skills necessary to change their behaviors in ways that will reduce the risk of contracting HIV, other STDs/STIs, and unplanned or repeat pregnancies.
