Teen PEP

 

 

The Teen Prevention Education (Teen PEP) is a comprehensive, sexual health program that utilizes peer-to-peer education to increase students´ knowledge, attitudes, skills, and behaviors associated with healthy decision-making.

The program model is designed to:

  • Give peer educators the information, communication skills, and confidence to be effective sexual health advocates and leaders among their peers
  • Equip students with the knowledge, skills, and motivation to avoid STIs, HIV and unintended pregnancy
  • Provide parents/guardians with the knowledge and skills to appropriately discuss sex and sexuality with their children

Teen PEP is implemented in high schools as a credited course 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. The peer educators, in turn, conduct a series of structured workshops with groups of younger peers, faculty, and parents.

Teen PEP is a voluntary program that is implemented across New Jersey and North Carolina. The program was developed in 1995 through a collaboration of the Princeton Center for Leadership Training, HiTOPS, Inc., and the primary sponsor, the New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services.

Extras:

  • Application and 2 Part Interview Process prior to being accepted into the program
  • Mandatory 2-Night Retreat, in the Spring prior to class starting, to promote teambuilding, understanding basic sexual health, & trust activities
  • Perform & facilitate a Family Night, to promote open communication with parents and children about sexual health
  • Mandatory 1- Night Retreat, in the Winter
  • Spring (prior to HS graduation) an all day Passing the Torch Activity where the students in the program “graduate” and pass the program on to the new students who have been accepted

The Teen PEP curriculum is designed to enable high schools and community-based organizations to use a peer education approach to provide students with medically accurate sexual health information and equip them with the skills they need to make healthy decisions. The Teen PEP curriculum uses a hands-on, activity-based structure which provides students with opportunities for discussion and skill development. The Senior Teen PEP program is provided to the 9th graders at Salem High School.

Specific skills addressed throughout the Teen PEP curriculum include:

  • Decision-Making
  • Resisting Peer Pressure
  • Communication with Peers
  • Communication with Parents
