PPSNE is committed to providing high quality training
opportunities for teachers, social workers and other youth
serving professionals. As part of our continued efforts to
reach more individuals with sexual health information, we
have expanded our geographic reach and will be offering two
RIDE approved trainings in Rhode Island.

October 28th, 2010 - Sexual Health Information from A to Z
@ Woonsocket public library $55 for one,or $100 for both.
Nuva Ring? Patch? Fem Cap? Implanon? The array of available
contraceptive methods grows each year. Can teens use
Implanon? Do women really need to have their period
monthly? Whether you are new to teaching sexual health
education or an experienced educator, this training has
important timely information.
One in three American teen girls has a sexually transmitted
infection. STI’s can result in significant medical
complications. Despite significant advances in treatment,
HIV still remains deadly. Herpes still has no cure, and the
human papillomavirus (HPV) can be a precursor to cervical
cancer. Untreated cases of gonorrhea and chlamydia may lead
to pelvic inflammatory disease, or even infertility. Even
syphilis is on the rise and can still prove deadly if
undiagnosed and untreated.
Yet too many sexually active young people remain oblivious
to the risks they take when engaging in unprotected sex.
As youth serving professionals, being aware of the facts
and risks, and finding effective ways to communicate that
knowledge to the young people we serve will help minimize
their risk.

November 19th, 2010 - The Crisis of Teen Pregnancy: Using
Evidence Based Approaches to Reduce Teen Pregnancy
@ Woonsocket public library $100.00
Becoming a teen parent significantly reduces future
prospects for teenagers; less than one-third of teens who
parent before the age 18 ever earn a high school diploma.
Reducing the rate of teen pregnancy is one of the most
strategic and direct means available to improve adolescent
health and maximize healthy and productive futures
An up-to-the minute update on teen pregnancy and birth
rates will be provided, along with the latest strategies
and interventions to help teens delay intercourse and
consistently practice safer sex if they choose to be
sexually active
