Teens for AIDS Prevention Peer Education Program (customized for Episcopal use)

Abstract:
The National Episcopal AIDS Coalition's (NEAC) Christian adaptation of the resource "Teens for AIDS Prevention (TAP) Peer Education Program," is offered in response to the 70th General Convention's call for a resource that will "begin culturally sensitive dialogue with and among youth on the HIV/AIDS global epidemic". This resource can be used within any denomination and would be helpful for those who work with Christian youth groups, diocesan camps, private schools, and in other settings where religious aspects of HIV prevention and education would be appropriate. The resource has been customized with Scripture readings, discussion questions, and prayers for all the training sessions and is available in both Spanish and English versions. The resource teaches abstinence and monogamy and also provides candid and complete instruction regarding condom use. It is broken down into 14 sessions on HIV/AIDS knowledge and peer education and includes activities where participants design their own peer education programs. The NEAC, in conjunction with Advocates for Youth, periodically provides training sessions at sites around the country. A sample brochure, from a training workshop in Colorado, in enclosed.
