Introduction
Agenda
Wednesday, May 20
In 1985, America was introduced to a little
movie called Back to the Future and North
Carolina was introduced to a new organization
­— what’s now called the Adolescent Pregnancy
Prevention Campaign of North Carolina.
This year’s conference is a celebration of where
we’ve been and where we’re going —
­ with a
few surprises thrown in. So hop inside our data
Delorean and get ready for a journey through
30 years of our work together and a peek into
the future.
We look forward to seeing you as we take a
ride through our shared past, present, and
future.

Pre-conference Session
People Power: A Workshop on Community Mobilization
Mobilizing community members and organizations is an important
part of a successful community initiative. The goal of this workshop
is to deconstruct principles of community mobilization and explore
how to incorporate these principles into existing community efforts.
This session will present research based-characteristics of community mobilization efforts and strategies for applying these principles to
adolescent pregnancy prevention. Participants in this session will identify non-traditional partners within
their communities and practice messaging and engaging them for specific purposes. Participants will
also build skills in linking pregnancy prevention to broader community health issues to increase program
sustainability. We will workshop barriers and share strategies.

Choose One (Note: Workshops A1 – A4 are ONLY offered during this session.)
A1. What are they REALLY asking? Adolescents’ questions submitted to the BrdsNBz Text Message Warm Line
Text messaging is an important communication tool. In fact, over
75% percent of young people ages 12-19 use text messaging
as their primary means of communication – with some averaging more than 450 text messages each week. Join this session as
we present comparative information about texts submitted by
13-19-year-olds to BrdsNBz North Carolina. We’ll also discuss
trends in text messaging and research behind current text messaging initiatives, as well as how to evaluate text messaging data.
Presenter: Kennon Jackson, Jr., MA, Director – BrdsNBz National, Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention Campaign of North Carolina
Workshop Categories: Capacity-Building; Collaborations; Social Marketing Format: Lecture/Discussion Content Level: Beginner
A2. Meeting the Needs of LGBTQ Youth
Creating a safe and respectful environment for LGBTQ youth is
an issue across the country and the state. The Centers for Disease
Control’s Division of Adolescent and School Health is taking a lead
by assisting State Education Agencies in educating teachers, staff,
administrators, and students about LGBTQ equality. This session
will provide a national perspective and the latest research and
best practices for appropriately addressing the needs of these
students. In particular, we will provide guidance to health professionals who work with youth on issues such as appropriate use
of pronouns, safe restroom and locker room environments, and
legal implications regarding transgender youth. This interactive,
thought-provoking session will provide examples of model policy
used by other states.

A3. Providing Sexual and Reproductive Health Services
to Adolescent Males: Lessons Learned from the Engaging
Young Men’s Initiative in Gastonia, NC
This session will describe common barriers adolescent males face
in accessing sexual and reproductive health care, national recommendations and best practices for providing them with SRH
services, and key resources health centers can use to improve their
ability to address their SRH needs. The session will also include
a presentation of key steps and lessons learned from a pilot
project with two health centers in Gaston County, NC that seeks
to improve the quality of and access to sexual and reproductive
health care for adolescent males as a strategy to improve health
outcomes, including reducing teen pregnancy.

Format: Lecture/Discussion Content Level: Beginner; Intermediate
A4. Keeping the Faith Sex Positive
This workshop will explore a few aspects of the Christian faith that
for many youth and program staff provides nurturing, guidance,
optimism, and comfort that may actually be viewed as sex negative
for others. The workshop will seek to provide examples of positive
sex messages and reframing that may be a place of neutrality for
some youth educators, counselors, and program staff. The aim of
the session is to discover strategies and messages that are both
faith and sex positive.

2:00pm—3:15pm
Choose One (Note: Workshops B1 – B4 are ONLY offered during this session.)
B1. What’s media got to do with it? Addressing sexual
health misinformation with media literacy education for
adolescents
Studies have shown that media may have an effect on adolescent
sexual behavior. Exposure to degrading music and sexually explicit
television has been linked to subsequent sexual activity and pregnancy in young adults. Media literacy education (MLE) represents
an innovative and accessible way to teach comprehensive sexual
education. This presentation will discuss the development and
evaluation of Media Aware - Sexual Health, a comprehensive MLE
program for influencing adolescents’ sexual health and media
literacy outcomes. Attendees will participate in lively interactive
discussions of media examples and experience MLE activities that
are used in the classroom to promote adolescent sexual health.

The purpose of this presentation is to increase awareness regarding human trafficking and how it affects children and youth
involved in the child welfare system in North Carolina. The
presentation will address some of the work being done to increase
prevention and to provide services to child welfare and youth
who are identified as victims of trafficking.

share highlights of lessons learned. Panelists will include an OB/
GYN, public school assistant superintendent, a United Way leader,
and APPCNC staff. In addition to sharing pivotal lessons learned,
they will discuss tactics that can be replicated with few or limited
resources. This interactive, discussion-based session provides an
opportunity to learn how to effectively engage schools, health
care providers, and funders in teen pregnancy prevention.

pregnant as she
is today.
#progress
3x
This session will model a safe group setting environment for discussing the topic of clear, confident consent with adolescents. This
workshop will uncover shaming messages and focus on a positive
approach to language used in creating classroom structure and
culture, program development, and community-wide messaging.
Through engaging activities facilitators will normalize the natural,
healthy feelings of adolescent sexual desire and address communication skills specific to building a culture of clear, confident
consent in the context of responsible sexual decision-making. Participants will feel inspired to create a learning environment where
young people believe their bodies are extraordinary, powerful
and worth protecting.

10:00Am—11:15Am
Choose One (Note: Workshops D1 – D4 are ONLY offered during this session.)
D1. Talking to the Good Guys: Enlisting Males in the Fight
Against Rape
“I’m not a rapist. Why should I have to listen to this?” Boys and
men commonly feel accused and blamed during anti-rape education. This session will discuss ways educators can break through
defensiveness and approach males as potential helpers rather than
potential rapists. Educators will learn how to enlist males in resisting rape culture; condemning coercive behaviors; and normalizing
healthy, consensual relationships. After this session, you will be
able to create programming that increases empathy for survivors
and aversion to rape; encourages active, affirmative consent; and
challenges males to step up and do their part to end rape.
Presenter: Carter Shotwell, MSW, Wise Guys Educator, Children’s Home
Society of North Carolina

D2. A New Way of Thinking About Grant Writing
Hate writing grants? Tired of working hard on your proposal and
then getting turned down by the funder? Always wanted to learn,
but scared to try? Maybe you’re thinking about it all wrong. This
workshop will teach you a new way of thinking about grant writing
that will increase your chances of getting funded. Whether you’re
a complete novice or an experienced grant writer, the workshop
will provide you with specific tips and techniques that can transform the way you write proposals. Come learn how the presenter
secured over $75 million dollars in funded proposals using this
unique approach.

D3. Creating Opportunities: Person-Centered Planning
with Young Families. A shift in how we approach goalplanning with teen and young parents.
Young parents need to feel in control of their lives and have the
confidence and tools to succeed. The Rockingham County Partnership for Children has incorporated the Person-Centered Planning
model into our work with young parents and discovered that it
enables parents to be active, invested participants in creating
strength-based life goal plans and the development of support
circles. This workshop will provide you with more information on
the PCP model as it applies to young parents and how PCP fits into
the case management and service delivery process.

D4. A Model for Preparing and Supporting Program Staff
to Successfully Implement a School-Based EvidenceBased Intervention
A model of staff training and support as part of a federal Tier I
Teen Outreach Program implementation has provided an opportunity for facilitators across a diverse region to have a wide range
of learning experiences that help them feel prepared to meet the
unique challenges in their communities. Implementation staff had
to have skills to navigate school relationships, support a rigorous
evaluation, recruit program participants, and deliver a high quality
program. At the same time, these facilitators embraced standardized practices and adhered to curriculum fidelity. Learn some of
the strategies that resulted in program staff feeling supported,
engaged, and successful!

Good news: North Carolina’s teen pregnancy rates continued to
decline in 2013! Not-so-good news: there remain pockets of high

E3. A Replication of Draw the Line/Respect the Line in
Rural California: A Case Study Mixed Methods Design
This session will discuss a study of Latino adolescents, grades 6-8,
participating in a Draw the Line/Respect the Line implementation in a high-poverty rural community in California. The research
findings were consistent with the conclusion that Draw the Line
curricula are effective in providing rural Latino adolescents the
tools needed to resist peer pressure and sexual risks behaviors.
We will identify ways in which health care providers, school staff,
and policy makers can encourage and support Latino adolescents
residing in rural communities to make informed decisions about
their sexual and reproductive health as they transition from childhood to adolescence.
