OUR MISSION

The Teen Pregnancy & Prevention Partnership promotes adolescent sexual health and teen pregnancy prevention by uniting Missouri through advocacy, collaboration, training, and public awareness.

The Teen Pregnancy & Prevention Partnership  embraces the following values:

 

·       We promote the prevention of teen pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections as being in the best interest of adolescents, their families and society.

·       We endorse evidence-based research which confirms that effective sexual health education is abstinence-first, comprehensive, age-appropriate, and medically accurate.

·       We believe those who parent children are and should be the primary source of their values We support families and communities playing a key role reducing teen pregnancy and promoting adolescent sexual health.

·       We celebrate the diversity of individuals and beliefs in the community and believe the complex issue of adolescent sexual health requires multiple approaches and the use of research- proven curricula and programs.

 

·       We believe in raising awareness of the causes and consequences of teen pregnancy and providing an atmosphere for professionals and parents to learn about proven and promising interventions.

 

·       We recognize the impact of social and health disparities on teen pregnancy and adolescent sexual health and support efforts to improve access to services.

·       We believe complete information leads to better choices and outcomes for all.
