Not sure how to talk about sex, relationships and risk?
Today’s teens are drowning in information yet they remain action and empathy driven.
Most 15- 19 yr olds today are choosing to wait for sex but are bombarded with media and cultural trends that do not serve them.
Young adults (age 15-24) contract about half of the 26 million new STDs each year, costing about $4.16 billion in direct medical costs. About 40% of sexually active teen girls (aged 14-19) have at least one STD. Most STDs are present without any symptoms* Alaska consistently rates top in the nation for some of the most prevalent sexually transmitted infections and diseases. Your teens deserve more.
Step Up Now utilizes the Sexual Risk Avoidance (SRA) educational format to help teens avoid risk and prevent physical and emotional damage before it occurs. This method shares universally transferable principles from which all students can benefit, including: sexual delay, fewer lifetime partners, and setting boundaries. In addition, the holistic nature of the SRA format addresses broader, generalized topics regarding adolescent development.
