Addressing Adult Preparation Topics Training
On March 23, 2010 the President signed into law the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. This Act amended Title V of the Social Security Act to include a new State formula grant program, the Personal Responsibility Education Program (PREP). PREP funds are to be used to educate adolescents on both abstinence and contraception to prevent pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections, and at least three adulthood preparation subjects. These adulthood preparation subjects are: 1. Adolescent Development 2. Educational and Career Success 3. Financial Literacy 4. Healthy Life Skills 5. Healthy Relationships 6. Parent-Child Communication This training provides information regarding these six adulthood preparation subjects and each section includes tips, resources, and “additional information” to provide further guidance.
