CELEBRATING SUCCESS: TYFI SUMMIT ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

 

We extend our heartfelt appreciation to the dedicated participants of the
TEXAS YOUTH-FRIENDLY INITIATIVE (TYFI) SUMMIT, held on January 25th and
26th in Houston. The clinical teams from Abide Women’s Health Services
[3] (Dallas), Baylor College of Medicine- Cullen [4] (Houston), Baylor
College of Medicine- Wisdom High School [4] (Houston), HOPE Clinic- Alief
[5] (Houston), HOPE Clinic- Beltway [5] (Houston), and Project Vida [6] (El
Paso) are committed to improving youth healthcare delivery, and we are
honored to have their involvement. TYFI, led by Healthy Futures of Texas,
collaborates with health centers to enhance care for youth ages 10-24,
utilizing an evidence-based model developed by the Adolescent Health
Initiative (AHI) at the University of Michigan.

We are grateful as well for Episcopal Health Foundation [7]'s support,
which makes this vital work possible.

We look forward to continuing this journey together, creating impactful and
youth-friendly healthcare spaces.

Texas high school students have the chance to win up to $1,000 by creating
a 2-3 minute film exploring the CONNECTION BETWEEN MENTAL HEALTH AND SEX
ED for our Student Film Contest [9]. We have crafted a five-point guide
to help teens brainstorm ideas and submit their films by the MARCH 22
deadline! Get all the details in our latest blog post [8].

We're excited to collaborate with  Mental Health America of Greater Dallas
[10] (MHAGD) this year to help teens navigate this important issue.
Together, we aim to inspire impactful storytelling from the perspective of
those we serve.

UNVEILING 'ON MY WAY'

We're thrilled to introduce 'ON MY WAY,' OUR NEWLY-DEVELOPED PUBERTY
EDUCATION PROGRAM. This four-lesson curriculum delves into the social,
emotional, and physical changes of puberty, offering valuable tools for
effective management. Tailored for 4th, 5th, or 6th graders, the program is
suitable for implementation in schools and community-based organizations.

INTRODUCING 'FAST FACT FRIDAYS'!

Every Friday, we'll share impactful sexual health education and research
stats on social media. Kicking off with a crucial insight: THE TEXAS TEEN
BIRTH RATE SAW ITS FIRST INCREASE IN 15 YEARS IN 2022, even as the overall
US teen birth rate continued to decline. Though the increase was small –
less than half a percent – this starkly contrasts the previous 5 years,
where we witnessed an average annual decline of 8%. Disturbingly,
disparities among Black and Hispanic teens worsened in 2022. On a brighter
note, preliminary data suggests a small decline in Texas teen birth rates
for 2023. EVIDENCE SHOWS THAT HIGH-QUALITY SEX EDUCATION CAN HELP REDUCE
RATES OF UNINTENDED PREGNANCY AND SET TEENS UP FOR A LIFETIME OF HEALTH.
