This training is designed for health and physical education teachers, school counselors, and other educators responsible for delivering reproductive health education in schools. Whether new to teaching this content or looking for ways to enhance current instruction, participants will gain valuable insights, practical tools, and collaborative learning experiences to bring back to their classrooms.

Day 1:  An online virtual session with pre-work is required (information sent at least two weeks before the end of registration). Educators will focus on HIV prevention and learning evidence-based strategies to teach students about transmission, risk reduction, and stigma.

Participants will explore current HIV trends, prevention methods (including PrEP and condoms), and Michigan laws related to HIV education. Through engaging activities, they will practice responding to students' common questions, analyzing misconceptions, and modeling inclusive, trauma-informed approaches to instruction.

By the end of the day, participants will leave with practical tools and resources to confidently deliver HIV prevention lessons that align with best practices and state guidelines.
