MCP has accomplished the goals of working with low-income families. We have provided the following services, which fall in line with the goals and objectives of ensuring that no child or families are left behind.
Teen Issues- through our abstinence-only education program, MCP has worked to reduce the number of adolescents who are at-risk of becoming pregnant or by receiving a sexually transmitted disease. We have been incorporating abstinence-only education classes for students ages 12-15 at our local middle schools in Scott County. The classes include health education, peer mentoring, parent involvement, and outreach services.
Alcohol, Tobacco and Other Drug (ATOD) Programs- by providing research and science-based prevention programs that are effective in reducing the incidences of illegal substances youth are exposed to, we can effective reach families through a systematic approach that is proven to impact middle and high school youth.
