For a growing number of adolescents and young adults, unplanned pregnancy, single parenting, and troubled relationships derail personal goals. Love Notes was created for this vulnerable audience, some already pregnant or parenting. In 13 lessons, they discover—often for the first time—how to make wise choices about relationships, delaying teen sexual activity, pregnancy, marriage, partnering, and more.
Updated in Spring 2025, Love Notes 4.1 CSE includes the latest YRBS stats along with existing topics important to today’s youth, including sex trafficking prevention, technology in relationships, navigating relationships in the digital age, online porn, sexual assault—and their impact on relationships. Love Notes 4.1 CSE includes the evidence-based content with supplemental materials that allow facilitators to go deeper on topics that are meaningful to young people.
Love Notes 4.1 CSE aligns with all Executive Orders on DEI and gender. In this version, participants will be creating their own personal contraception plan. TPP grantees serving youth 18 and up may use Love Notes 4.1 CSE. If you are not using this federal funding to implement Love Notes and do not need a sexual risk avoidance version, we recommend Love Notes 4.0 Classic.
