Teen Pregnancy Prevention
New Beginnings believes that it is important for youth to understand the realities and challenges of being a teen parent. Therefore, since 1997 when Community Education about Adolescent Sexuality (CEAS) was formed, graduates from New Beginnings have been providing one hour classroom panel presentations for students in grade six and up.
Panel presentations usually involve three to four parents discussing their experiences with early sexual activity and their teenage pregnancy. Over the past seven years CEAS has spoken to over one thousand grade seven students in Abbotsford.
