Preventing Teen Pregnancy

Delaying sexual activity in today’s teen culture is more complicated than “Just Say No”.   CareNet equips teens to make a choice to remain abstinent by helping teens set boundaries, resist peer pressure and set goals.  By eliminating disease and the threat of pregnancy, teens can look to a healthy future.
