Sexual Risk Avoidance Education (SRAE), a program for middle school youth aged 10-13 and their parents/caregivers, encourages a healthy transition from early to later adolescence. It achieves this by helping youth 1) develop a positive outlook for their futures based on their unique goals and talents and 2) understand how delaying sexual activity will help them achieve the future they want. Youth participants from CAMBA’s Beacon and Cornerstone Community Centers will engage in the Teen Outreach Program (TOP) led by CAMBA’s trained Health Educators, and in an “activity-session” aligned with students’ interested (such as a sport, craft, or performing art). Guided group discussions connect the activity to overall SRAE themes like goal setting, positive self-image, good decision-making and self-regulation. Parents and caregivers engage with workshops on parent-child communication around relevant risk avoidance topics.
