Adolescent Reproductive Health
The goal of this project is to build capacity of local organizations in the Pacific Northwest to select, implement and evaluate science-based approaches (SBA) to prevent teen pregnancy and STD/HIV, and to promote adolescent reproductive health. Toward this end we work closely with local partners, including youth-serving organizations and health clinics, providing needs and assets assessment, training, technical assistance, evaluation and materials dissemination. Each activity is part of an overall plan that will result in the selection, implementation and evaluation of science-based approaches and programs.
HIV Integration Project (HIP)
CHT’s outcome goal for the HIV Prevention Integration Project is to increase the capacity of reproductive health settings to integrate client-centered HIV counseling and testing services by: 1) increasing the number of reproductive health settings that integrate HIV counseling and testing, and 2) increasing the number of staff working in reproductive health settings who counsel using client-centered counseling skills. In support of these goals, CHT utilizes HIV Prevention Integration Champions to lead the organization and assist staff in a systems change approach. Efforts include in-depth collaboration, agency capacity and staff assessments, technical assistance, training, evaluation, and implementation plan for system change.
Project Partners include:
- Mount Baker Planner Parenthood
- Planned Parenthood of Central Washington
- Family Planning Chelan-Douglas
HIV Prevention Counseling and Service Integration Training
