Parents Matter
The Parents Matter! Program (PMP) is an evidence-based, parent-focused intervention designed to promote positive parenting and effective parent-child communication about sexuality and sexual risk reduction for parents of 9 to 12 year olds. PMP recognizes that many parents and guardians may need support to effectively convey HIV, STI and pregnancy prevention messages to their children. The ultimate goal of PMP is to reduce sexual risk behaviors among adolescents, including delayed onset of sexual debut, by giving parents tools to deliver primary prevention to their children.
