Teens Making A Choice (TMAC) is a teen pregnancy prevention program that targets African American and Hispanic youth ages 15 to 19 in Harris County, Texas and contiguous geographic areas of Angelina and Nacogdoches Counties.
The program utilizes a social-emotional learning evidence-based curriculum called Love Notes. This curriculum addresses effective risk avoidance and empowers youth with the skills needed to further their own personal development. TMAC empowers teens to voluntarily refrain from non-marital sexual activity, and engage in fewer risky behaviors, thereby reducing teen pregnancy.
Students who participate in the TMAC program will receive evidence-based and medically accurate information regarding:
* Healthy Relationships
*Dating Violence Prevention
*Success Sequencing & Poverty Prevention
*Goal Setting
*Communication Skills”
Civic Heart Community Services was awarded funding from the Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Family- Family and Youth Services Bureau (FYSB) for this program.
