SERVE Program

Hoosier Uplands' SERVE Program is an abstinence based education program with eight lessons/modules that are offered to Junior High/Middle School health classes in Daviess, Dubois, Jackson, and Martin Counties.  The program is state funded through TANF dollars and contracted through our partner, Health Care Education & Training (HCET).  The program is intended to give students the necessary tools needed to make important decisions regarding their sexual health.

The SERVE Program encourages students to practice abstinence in order to prevent teen pregnancies, sexually transmitted diseases, and other risks associated with sexual behaviors.  The program also educates students on ways to deal with peer and partner pressures and how to have safe and healthy relationships.

  •  To increase students intentions to abstain from sexual activity
