CHAMP Ambassador

Overview

The Collaborative HIV Adolescents Mental Health Programme (CHAMP) is adapted to deliver activities aimed at transforming knowledge and behavior about gender-based violence (GBV), intimate partner violence (IPV), and comprehensive sexual health education (CSE). CHAMP concentrates on influencing parenting to heighten youth awareness of cultural norms and values that negatively impact sexual choices. It encourages parents to reinforce risk-related themes and prevention values by coaching and supporting youth to apply specific skills to delay sex and handle relationship pressures by obtaining guidance, information, and emotional support.

Aim of CHAMP

CHAMP aims to enhance parental decision-making, increase healthy and nurturing parent-youth dialogue, improve aptitude to counteract negative peer pressure and reduce sexual risk. Additionally, CHAMP will seek to transform and/or change unhealthy, negative gender norms of those participating in the programme, by promoting gender equitable attitudes and behaviours while examining and deconstructing harmful gender norms.
