10 smart decisions in every area of their lives including relationship decisions which will help the teen population learn how to prevent unwanted teen pregnancy. Conducting a Program on Statutory Rape Citation: 42 U.S.C. 602 (a)(1)(A)(vi) How the state will “Conduct a program, designed to reach State and local law enforcement officials, the education system, and relevant counseling services, that provides education and training on the problem of statutory rape so that teenage pregnancy prevention programs may be expanded in scope to include men.” The OKSDH with OKDHS input has established programs related to Sexual Assault Education and Awareness, and Sexual Coercion. These programs are designed to not only reach the public, but also state and local law enforcement officials, the education system and counseling services. Victims of sexual assault, domestic violence or stalking can call the Oklahoma Safeline 1-800-522-SAFE (7233) to speak with an advocate. OKSDH Injury Preventive Service has collaborated with the Oklahoma Coalition Against Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault and the Oklahoma Sexual Violence Prevention Advisory Committee to promote a sexual violence prevention program that focuses on primary prevention in K- 12 schools, colleges and universities. The goals of the sexual abuse prevention program are to reduce first time perpetration of sexual violence, increase the number of non-violent interactions and healthy relationships, reduce cultural influences that support sexual violence, and to reduce incidences of statutory rape. Much of these curricula aims to prevent boys from becoming perpetrators. Additionally, the college-aged men are targeted through a sexual assault prevention program and teen pregnancy staffs are presented with up-to-date information on rape/sexual abuse because of occasional reported abuse or behavior. In compliance with the requirements of the Consolidation Appropriation Acts, 2022, OKDHS certifies it has established and is enforcing standards and procedures to ensure that applicants and potential applicants for TANF are notified of assistance made available by the state to victims of sexual harassment and survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking. OKDHS has coordinated with the University of Oklahoma to develop and provide training in the nature and dynamics of sexual harassment and domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking; state standards and procedures relating to the prevention of, and assistance for, individuals who are victims of sexual harassment or survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking; and methods of ascertaining and ensuring the confidentiality to all to all personal information and documentation related to applicants for assistance and their children who have provided notice about their experiences of sexual harassment, domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking. This training will be provided to all personnel who administer the TANF program prior to March 15, 2023, and will be a mandatory annual training thereafter.
