Advancing Sexual Health Education Through Youth Engagement seeks to improve the sexual and mental health of New Mexico adolescents by improving school-based sexual health education. The aims of the project are: 1) improve knowledge, skills, comfort, and confidence of school staff to teach sexual health education in high school; 2) build a supportive community of practice for school staff responsible for teaching sexual health education, and 3) center youth voices to make sexual health education relevant to their lived experience.
