Parent Teen Talk. The Parent Teen Talk
(PTT), an updated and streamlined version
of the Learning Package on Parent Education
on Adolescent Health and Development
(LPPEAHD), is a three-hour interactive
platform to equip parents with critical
information on adolescent health and
development. The session aims to empower
parents to communicate on sexuality and
impart proper values and guidance to
their children, and in the process, bridge
communication gaps between them.
POPCOM, through its partners, conducted
trainings for facilitators using the learning
package. Facilitators, in turn, rolled-out the
sessions on Parent-Teen Talk in their own
groups and networks. Overall, the strategy has
reached 15,592 in-school and out-school youth
for the whole year.
