Supporting Reproductive Health

Health Care Education and Training (HCET): Your Partners in Reproductive and Sexual Health

Our reproductive and sexual health experiences and decisions shape us as humans and impact our families and communities. For over 30 years, HCET has partnered with communities across the Great Lakes states to deliver evidence-based, person‑centered reproductive and sexual health education. HCET focuses on those too often overlooked—youth in foster care, people navigating incarceration, and communities facing barriers to care—equipping them with knowledge, tools, and compassion so they can move forward, informed and with confidence. 

Why Your Support Matters

HCET’s work doesn’t stop when the classroom empties or the training ends. It’s about creating lasting change—sustaining programs that empower individuals, equipping professionals with practical strategies, and strengthening the systems that shape health outcomes for generations.  Our upstream approach to advancing reproductive and sexual health ensures that entire organizations and communities can create programs and policies that are sustainable in the long term.

What We Do

• Reproductive & Sexual Health Across the Lifespan: We provide skills-based education and training to healthcare providers, educators, and the public health workforce.
• Person-Centered & Trauma-Informed Care: Through the Midwest Trauma-Informed Training Center (MTITC), HCET provides in-person and virtual training and resources for healthcare professionals.
• STI/HIV Prevention: HCET works alongside organizations and communities to deliver evidence-based, destigmatizing STI/HIV prevention strategies, ensuring accessible and highly skilled providers.
