What is the PACC?

The Parent and Caregiver Council (PACC) launched in 2020 to make the voices of trusted adults part of the UChoose campaign. UChoose is dedicated to improving youth sexual health and evidence-based programs promoting youth health and wellness as a part of the B’more for Healthy Babies initiative. The PACC recognizes that trusted adults, especially parents and guardians, are the most important voice in young people's choices about sexual health. 

 

PACC members will meet regularly to provide parents' and caregivers' insights to inform Baltimore City Health Department programs, serve as advocates for their communities, and engage other parents and caregivers to promote the health and wellbeing of Baltimore City’s young people.
