Teens Talk is a project conducted to develop peer leadership among pregnant/parenting teens (both male and female) by participation in panels. After training, the panels present information as well as experiences and attitudes to adult community groups to raise awareness and support, to youth groups to prevent teen pregnancy, and to other pregnant/parenting teens for whatever is needed at the time. This Learning Guide contains information on forming new teen panels in rural communities in New Mexico. Emphasis is on ingredients that make a panel function well, given the cultural differences, geographic distances, and rural and isolated nature of many New Mexico communities. The Learning Guide serves as a tool for adult facilitators who wish to use a teen panel to facilitate peer leadership among pregnant/parenting teens or to get information to other groups. Sections cover: (1) reasons for the panel format; (2) advantages of the panel over the support group; (3) steps in setting up Teens Talk programs; and (4) considerations in working with pregnant and parenting teens. Eleven additional resources are listed. (ALL)
