The Personal Responsibility Education program aims to increase reproductive health outcomes and life opportunities for youth in the Commonwealth through sexual health and adulthood preparation education. Through a partnership with the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE), youth in both DPH funded community-based programs and DESE funded school districts receive high quality, age-appropriate, and medically accurate comprehensive sexuality education. These programs are rooted in the MDPH Office of Sexual Health and Youth Development’s core values of evidence-based programming, positive youth development, and racial justice.
