The Comprehensive Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention (CAPP) program is a project of the Division of Adolescent Medicine at Staten Island University Hospital and funded through a grant from the NYS Department of Health.  In compliance with the NYSED Health Education Learning Standards, CAPP provides evidenced based, age appropriate reproductive health education to students in Middle and High Schools.  Additional programming takes place at after school programs, faith based institutions and adolescent service agencies.  Workshops for parents and professionals are available as well.

CAPP offers a variety of programming designed to foster positive attitudes and healthy behaviors, including:

• Implementation of an 8 session evidenced based health education program in a classroom or workshop setting
• Classroom presentations on reproductive health, including NYC DOE mandated HIV lessons
• On site, one to one health education and referrals for youth
• “Reaching Athletes, Teaching Athletes” program, a health education initiative directed at student athletes
• Parent education workshops which focus on improving parent-child communication
• Professional development workshops for teachers, social workers and other health professionals

All program are facilitated by skilled Health Educators and are free of charge.  For questions or to book a workshop please contact Christine Roos at (718) 226-6032  or croos@northwell.edu
