TLC offers presentations for 10 to 18 year olds in group <br />settings at middle schools, high schools and community organizations. Presentations may include group <br />activities, role-play, open discussion, worksheets, take home assignments, and video segments. <br />Comment/2019-20 Monitoring: During the 4th quarter of 2019-2020, TLC was unable to return into the school <br />in person to complete Baby Think It Over presentations with HOPE teachers at Vero Beach High Freshmen <br />Learning Center at the start of the school year. However, TLC is able to perform virtual life skills presentations <br />and is scheduled to complete Baby Think It Over in the spring. TLC is also working closely with Indian River <br />Charter High School addressing the safety and protocols of conducting in person presentations. At this time <br />presentations have been put on hold until the second semester. (Over 400 students will be participating in the <br />virtual presentations this school year.) <br />A new virtual presentation has been developed to meet the needs of the district. The program is currently <br />being used and continually being updated based on the feedback of students, teachers and staff members <br />currently utilizing the new curriculum. <br />GOALS/OUTCOMES REPORT <br />Outcome #1: 65% of teens and preteens that participate in at least 3 modules of Posting Sexual Involvement <br />increase knowledge of skills to postpone sexual involvement. <br />Goal Met — Postponing Sexual Involvement virtual update was presented to a small focus group during the <br />4th quarter of the fiscal year. <br />1st Quarter 2nd Quarter 3rd Quarter I 4th Quarter <br /># Served <br />%Achieved # Served <br />%Achieved # Served <br />%Achieved # Served %Achieved <br />1 <br />0 <br />N/A 0 <br />N/A 0 <br />N/A 6 100 <br />Outcome #2: Teens and pre -teens that participate in Posting Sexual Involvement increase communication on <br />the subject of sex with their parent/guardian; 60% of worksheets will be returned to program and signed <br />indicating parent and youth discussion. <br />Goal Not Met — Postponing Sexual Involvement virtual presentations was piloted with a small focus group with <br />PACE center for girls during the 4th quarter.
