First workshop offerings
available February, 2014
This quarter saw the launch of a new web portal designed to
meet the professional development needs of sexual health education
providers and school health educators.
These ETR services and resources are tailored for individu-
als, teams, groups and organizations using research-based
design and delivery processes to help prevent unintended
pregnancy, HIV and other STD among youth. ETR offers
face-to-face, virtual and blended learning approaches.
Now grantees in the Office of Adolescent Health
(OAH) Teen Pregnancy Prevention Initiative (TPPI)
and the Administration on Children, Youth and Families
(ACYF) Personal Responsibility Education Program
(PREP) can arrange customizable trainings that match
their programs’ needs. Sales Development Specialist
Nancy Gonzalez-Caro says, “The new portal provides
easy access to trainings intended to support program sus-
tainability and help grantees in their transition as the first
round of PREP funding is set to end in September 2014.”
In December 2013, the Senate Finance Committee
approved a 5-year extension of PREP for fiscal years 2015-
2019. The reauthorization bill not only extends PREP as
it already exists, but also expands the PREP target pop-
ulations to include youth at risk for being victims of sex
trafficking. As the bill progresses out of Committee, con-
gressional negotiations in early 2014 will be crucial for the
extension of PREP funding.
Our TPPI and PREP trainings can be adapted for
other programs and non-grantees as well. The resource
hub is designed to meet the needs of health education
providers funded by the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention’s Division of Adolescent School Health
(DASH) and Division of Reproductive Health (DRH),
private initiatives such as Working to Institutionalize
Sexuality Education (WISE) and many more. All our
trainings include research-based elements that ensure
success.
