WHMI in partnership with the WDFS strives to provide meaningful relationship skills training to students attending or living at the Wyoming Girls and the Wyoming Boys Schools. Project Goals include:
• Improve students’ relationship knowledge: providing students skills and techniques to consider delaying sexual activity
• Reduce the incidence of unwanted pregnancies
• Encourage the formation of two-parent families WHMI uses a variety of evidence based curricula with these students.
The program has been well received and is providing excellent results. As of 3/31/11 more than 500 students have participated in 1 or more training event, we have reported that:
• 90.4% could name the 4 necessary ingredients for change;
• 97.2% understood the importance of compatibility in a relationship;
• 100% (Girls School Only) could name at least 3 consequences of becoming pregnant before ready;
• 100% (Girls School Only) understood that refusal skills can be both verbal and non-verbal;
• 100% (Girls School Only) expresses understanding that “unprotected sex” is likely to result in becoming pregnant; and
• 79.7 % (low) to 100% (high) of Students expressed Satisfaction (with class experience, instructor, and materials and resources).
