We also offer numerous educational programs to bring reproductive and sexual health information directly to young people and the adults most closely connected with them.

Trainings for Professionals

Our Sexual & Reproductive Health Training Calendar describes the 25-30 trainings we offer annually at our headquarters and the customized on-site trainings we can conduct in other settings.

Through our Clinician Training Initiative (CTI), PPNYC addresses the critical shortage of medical professionals who have the skills and commitment to provide reproductive health care. 

We offer trainings on Public Insurance and Reproductive Health Care for family planning providers, managed care plans, community health organizations, and city and state agencies.

And we provide Capacity-Building Assistance to Organizations.

Our “Taking Care of You” workshops for young people help participants to learn and practice critical skills for communication and decision making.

Teen Advocate workshops are compelling theatrical skits about sexual health issues, which are written and performed by PPNYC’s teenaged peer educators for audiences of their fellow teens.   

Adult Role Model workshops are conducted by community members who have been trained by PPNYC to teach fellow  parents and caregivers how to talk knowledgeably and comfortably with their children about sex.
