HIPTeens was developed by a women’s health nurse-turned-researcher with the goal of helping community organizations provide evidence-based sexual risk education programs for teens and young adults.
Since we began our journey, HIPTeens has expanded to other groups and settings. It has been adapted in use across various age groups, gender identities, diverse races and ethnicities, cultures, and backgrounds. Our program has been used in a vast array of organizations and healthcare settings.
Our programming aligns with comprehensive sex education standards and is proven to reduce the number of sexual partners, overall and unprotected sex acts, and teen pregnancy rates.
Through a series of four sessions, we can help the teens and young adults in your community develop a better understanding of sex and how to develop healthy relationships. We work with a variety of community organizations across the United States and around the globe. Our programs are tailored to teens and young adults in a comfortable, small-group setting.

What does HIPTeens programming look like?
Fun & Engaging
HIPTeens is an evidence-based program that is presented in a fun and engaging manner. Our program is interactive and developed with input from hundreds of teens to make them feel comfortable discussing issues related to their sexuality. Oftentimes, young people learn about sex from their peers or from the Internet — neither of which can be considered reliable sources of factual, healthy information.
Building Confidence
By the end of the HIPTeens sessions, participants will know more about their bodies and feel comfortable asking questions, setting boundaries, and sticking up for themselves in the future. They gain the skills needed to communicate, negotiate, and make healthy decisions.
Proven Effectiveness
Our program is known for its long-term effectiveness in reducing the number of sexual partners, episodes of vaginal intercourse, and acts of unprotected sex, and lowering pregnancy rates among teens and young adults. HIPTeens is recognized by the CDC, HHS, and Blueprints as a comprehensive sex ed that is medically accurate and culturally sensitive.
