Peer Education

Proven to be one of the most effective approaches in impacting lasting change:

Project T.R.U.S.T.

A nationally recognized teen peer education program active in Calhoun County. Local high school youth are trained in leadership, sexuality education, and facilitation skills. Their goals are: to help reduce teen pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections, increase healthy relationships and sexual decision making, and ensure every individual's right to medically accurate, age appropriate sexual health information and services without fear, shame or exploitation. Email projecttrust@hotmail.com to learn more about the program, meeting with teen peer educators, or inviting these youth leaders to your event!

House to House

House to House is the outreach portion of the Healthy Babies-Healthy Start program at Planned Parenthood. For 15 years, House to House has been a very effective community outreach and education program. Women from local neighborhoods are trained in a wide range of topics including: male and female reproductive health, reducing infant mortality, birth control choices, and breast health awareness. They present the information to small groups in the homes of friends, family, and neighbors. This program is designed to empower the harder-to-reach, lower income, and minority communities.

Resource Center

A unique collection of books, videos, CDs, journals, periodicals, brochures, demonstration models, educational charts, contraceptive kits, curricula, youth and family activities, research packets, and more! 

The Margolis Traveling Library is full of books and videos designed to help parents and families communicate about sexuality and life issues. Most materials are available at low or no cost for weekly rental or purchase. The Resource Center is open at the Kalamazoo health center Monday through Friday from 9am to 5pm, and at the Barbara K.
