Be Real! Be Safe! Be Cool!
The B3
program is teen pregnancy prevention program (targeting teens aged
13-19) that seeks to decrease teen births in the Alief and Aldine
communities by improving teen access to services, delaying onset of
sexual intercourse, decreasing unprotected sex, and increasing
condom use.
The program is
comprised of three components:
Education
An 8 session
evidenced based teen pregnancy prevention program, targeting teens
aged 13-19, that combines HIV/AIDS education with life skills
training. Classes teach teens how to say no, problem solving, risk
recognition, and communication skills. Teens talk about sexual
decisions and practice skills to reduce risk-taking behaviors.
Classes are interactive and include games, role-playing,
discussions, videos, and prizes
Access
Our goal is to
work with clinics and other service providers to increase awareness
of and access to health and social services. We have developed a
Teen Services Directory that will be distributed to teens in the
Alief community.
Maternal Child
Health Outreach Team (MCHO)
Community
Partners are invited to participate on this Advisory Board for the
program.

work together to provide guidance to the decisions made regarding
improving access and education for teenagers in order to prevent
teen pregnancy.
