New Hope Center’s Sexual Risk Avoidance (SRA) Program empowers middle and high school students to make sound decisions regarding their sexual health.
This interactive abstinence program is offered to churches, community centers, and public and private schools. It teaches the following:
- Goal-setting
- Identifying and maintaining healthy relationships
- Learning refusal skills
- Developing positive character traits
Our SRA instructors are trained, knowledgeable, and fully equipped to answer any questions students may have. We are passionate about educating students and teaching them about fulfilling relationships.
What Should Parents Know?
Parents have a right to know what their students are learning. New Hope Center couldn’t agree more, so we provide comprehensive parental education.
We educate parents on the sexual health risks their children may face and provide information on how to discuss sexual development and activity. Staying informed is your best defense.
According to a 2010 report from The Heritage Foundation, teen sexual activity can result in numerous poor outcomes, including out-of-wedlock pregnancies, STDs, and psychological harm. Moreover, condoning sexual activity as long as contraceptives are used is a dangerous mentality and encourages teens to engage in risky behavior.
Abstinence education programs promote personal responsibility and provide solid foundations for further relationships and marriages. They also positively contribute to the emotional well-being of teens and young adults.
Protect your values by considering a sexual risk avoidance program. Give your child a strong foundation in an age when parental rights are often undermined. With your help, we can raise a generation that makes sound choices and recognizes their worth.
