Susie Long Susie Long I trained over 75 people ( foster parents and PRIDE class) in Feb.. I trained at the Woodlands office,Fort Bend office, main campus and at the church for the joint PRIDE class. It is nice to see parents opening their homes and hearts to children in crisis. Thank you for trusting UPBEAT CPR to train DePelchin foster/adopt families! www.upbeatcpr.com

DePelchin Children's Center Baby, Think it Over -An innovative program where teens care for simulated babies. Goal: Reduce the teen pregnancy rate. Do you know of a school or group that could benefit from this type of program or presentation? http://bit.ly/awpPqd

YES! I teach at a charter school in the Heights and have students who are parents and many who are not educated in their own personal/sexual health. Would love some information. We are small high school that many deals with lower-income minorities. Thanks!

What is the minimum age for programs like this? I remember having to "care for" the soda bottle baby filled with sand when I was in 10th grade. Unfortunately, a lot of pregnancies happen even before then. =o/

The program is designed primarily for middle school students ages 11-15. We target this age group because research indicates that teen pregnancy prevention is most effective at this age level and before the onset of sexual activity.

We offer this program and another pregnancy prevention program we have, called No Kidding, to ANY school. Send us an email at info@depelchin.org and we will get back to you to schedule the right program for you.
