DTL/RTL is a three-year, evidence-based curriculum that promotes abstinence by providing students in the sixth, seventh and eighth grades with the knowledge and skills to prevent STIs, HIV and pregnancy while empowering them with skills for self-advocacy and refusal. DTL/RTL was selected by tribal advisory groups from GPTCHB’s three participating communities during STITPPI Cycle 1, and by adult and youth advisors from the Yankton Sioux Tribe for STITPPI Cycle 2.

Note: while supplies last, STITPPI can offer teacher guides and student workbooks for all three grades for DTL/RTL. Please contact Opal Jones – STITPPI’s Outreach Coordinator – at [email protected] for more information and to request a kit.
