ABC gives young people the motivation, information, and skills needed to achieve a bright future through healthy decision-making. Children have the opportunity to have their questions answered in an honest, straightforward and non-threatening manner. Parents and their children take part in evening workshops to help facilitate family communication. In middle school, health teachers and trained high school teen leaders deliver the ABC series which promotes abstinence as the healthiest choice for middle school students. Teen leaders use interactive exercises to raise awareness of choices and their consequences.
Students learn and practice decision-making skills to help resist sexual pressure.
Both middle school and high school students take part in a slogan contest promoting abstinence. Winning slogans are made into posters and displayed throughout the school. Communities need a comprehensive approach to raise awareness, educate, and motivate young people to make healthy choices for a brighter future.
