Education

Through age-specific education curriculum, Catholic Charities works with individuals in a variety of approaches.

1.     Abstinence is a curriculum for students and young adults to help build the skills needed for developing an abstinence lifestyle. This includes lessons to: 

a.     Assist young people in building self-esteem.

b.     Increase communication skills.

c.     Improve decision making skills.

d.     Discover a connection between their values, decisions, behavior and future.  

2.     Individuals learn refusal skills and how to reject social pressures as well as an education in the use of non-sexual alternatives to meet their needs. 

3.     Prevention is a curriculum which stimulates conversation and increases awareness of adolescent pregnancy, responsibilities of parenting, and the value of postponing parenting until socially, emotionally, and financially able.
