The Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program is a primary prevention effort offered to junior high and high school students in select schools throughout Tazewell County. The TPP Program is intended to help students build the necessary skills to make healthy decisions through a variety of lessons and topics. The program is designed to promote positive personal behaviors, improve self-esteem, teach assertiveness and resistance skills, and discuss the values of abstinence and responsible sexual decision-making. The ultimate goal of this program is to support the students in making healthy lifestyle choices to successfully avoid teen pregnancy.
