Using the Connect is a sexual health program designed for youth in 6^th – 8^th grades.  The program was designed as a series of four educational games and one take home activity.  Each game focuses on specific knowledge and skillsets for youth to: 1) understand their minds and bodies; 2) access credible health information; 3) communicate effectively; 4) problem solve to make healthy decisions; and 5) build safe connections with adults in the community.  Through playing these games participants will gain a solid knowledge base of sexual health information and skills to not only prevent teen pregnancy, but be empowered to lead healthy lives.
