Program Overview
The Wyoming Personal Responsibility and Education Program (WyPREP) is 100% federally funded. The curricula used for the program are evidence-based and medically accurate. Curricula facilitators are also able, and encouraged, to include additional information on various topics including, but not limited to: healthy relationships, adolescent development, financial literacy, parent-child communication, educational and career success, and healthy life skills, in addition to teen pregnancy and STI/HIV prevention programming. The program is delivered in school and community-based settings.
There are currently two curricula offered: Making Proud Choices (MPC) and Reducing the Risk (RTR). Making Proud Choices is an 8-module curriculum, and Reducing the Risk is comprised of 16 modules. Both curricula include information on refusal and negotiation skills and how to support a trauma-informed approach.
