Healthy Choices
An annual Tennessee Healthy Choices for Youth Conference is conducted to which many persons interested in teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted disease prevention and character/asset development are invited. Nationally known speakers on abstinence and character building present information from their experiences and data. Topics include various areas of interest such as working with underserved youth, involving males in the abstinence discussion, decision-making skills, diversity, drug abuse prevention, healthy relationships, grant writing, character education, and bullying prevention. Each event has been warmly received and has generated excitement regarding the promotion of healthy life styles among our youth.
