The Texas Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy envisions a Texas where all teens reach their full potential by making healthy choices for their bodies and futures. To build this reality, teens need access to medically and scientifically accurate sex education, access to affordable contraception, and the freedom to act on their decisions.
We analyze and disseminate data on teen pregnancy and teen birth, including prevention strategies proven effective globally, nationally, and here in the Lone Star State.
We advocate for public policies that increase young Texans' access to knowledge and healthcare to prevent unintended pregnancy.
We partner with others across the state on programs designed to leverage local and regional resources with statewide systems change.
We ensure our partners have the opportunity to learn from one another and access the resources they need to advance the work in their home communities.
These components create an improved continuity of care by focusing on the youth perspective and building a foundation that allows youth to make informed decisions, now and in the future.
Our community thrives when it is happy and healthy. Early and unintended childbearing can make it harder for youth to complete their education, pursue professional goals, and build healthy families. Our work helps expand opportunity, creates positive social change, and allows young people to be stronger contributors to their communities.
