Our counselling curriculum for boys and girls is grounded with analytical psychology with evidence based and scientifically proven strategies that make teenagers feel empowered to make changes in their lives.
Covid-19 lockdown increased teenage pregnancy rates which indicated need for effort investments in teenage pregnancy prevention and mindset change program among teens. In regard this program was redesigned to suit the solving of current teenage challenges
Girls in schools have a lot of myths and ignorance about sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) which is highly contributing to the increased teenage pregnancies in Uganda based on our long-term engagement and interviews with teen mothers.
Basing on teen mothers’ evidenced causes, Provident Teen Mothers puts Sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) as a central point of our education programs to school adolescent girls. Girls are taught the correct information about their bodies and their rights so that they are able to make health-informed decisions and be able to speak out in cases of sexual violence.
We create a safe space that enables them to openly discus and ask sensitive questions, enabling our health educators to provide correct information against myths they held by girls.
In this program we partner with schools to empower students, parents and teachers to participate in teenage pregnancy prevent is our new mode which we believe will harvest positive impact. Parents and teachers have role to play in the prevention journey if we are to be successful in reducing the increasing rates of teenage pregnancy.
FAMILY RECONCILIATION PROGRAM
