ADOLESCENT HEALTH EDUCATION
(PREP)
Classes will resume in 2024! Stay tuned for parental consent forms and PREP curriculum updates.
The Personal Responsibility Education Program (PREP) is a federally funded, comprehensive sexual health education program provided through Amoskeag Health for teens and young adults. This program works to increase their healthy relationships, positive adolescent development, and to reduce pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections. PREP provides a no-cost, discussion-based course open to people of all genders, aged 14-19 years, or up to 21 years old if pregnant and/or parenting.
What is PREP Manchester?
We believe that teens and young adults deserve access to medically accurate, reliable and informative comprehensive sexual health education. We value, support, and respect everyone’s rights and abilities to make informed choices about their health and safety. PREP provides an inclusive, learner-focused environment for all students.
If you have any questions about PREP, please email CommunityInitiatives@AmoskeagHealth.org.
