Abstinence only programs are used in the middle schools to help students develop skills to resist pressures to become sexually active. Students participate in role-play to practice assertiveness techniques. Parents are involved through a take-home assignment intended to open lines of communication. High school teens explore the potential physical, social, emotional and financial consequences of teen parenthood through our "Baby Think It Over" program. Other health education topics focusing on healthy life styles and decision making are presented in schools, churches and community groups. Using an evidence -based model of community partnerships, and maximum student success, Dodgertown CPS empowers students, strengthens parent involvement, and supports community stability. The services provided by Dodgertown CPS are provided on-site and at partner facilities (i.e. health care services at TCCH, tutoring at GYAC, etc.). The program services are available throughout the school day during the school year, during extended / afterschool school hours, and over the summer months. n
