Building Public Will and Effective Coalitions for Teen Pregnancy Prevention – Advocates for Youth

 

 

 

Presenter:  Tom Klaus, Director of Capacity Building & Sustainability, Advocates for Youth, Washington, D.C.

 

Description:  For teen pregnancy prevention efforts to be effective in any community there has to be a community consensus that: 

a) Teen pregnancy is a problem in and to the community;

b) There are effective initiatives that can successfully minimize the risk of teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted infection; and

c) It is important to implement those most effective and appropriate initiatives, even if there isn’t complete agreement on specific activities within the initiative. 

           

Most importantly, there needs to be strong public will to do what is best for the health and well-being of young people.  These are no easy tasks.  This workshop will examine ways that this consensus can be facilitated and public will can be grown.

 

Objectives:

As a result of participating in this workshop, participants will:

  1. Learn how to more effectively interpret the need for teen pregnancy prevention to community stakeholders;
  2. Learn the keys to reducing community angst and public controversy around the adoption and implementation of science-based approaches and programs to prevent teen pregnancy;
  3. Learn how to grow public will to address teen pregnancy;
  4. Learn how to facilitate critical community coalitions to create and enact action plans to address teen pregnancy
