This science-based health program provides straightforward information about sexuality and its risks. As the last program in our health education continuum students learn about teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections (STI). Students explore the psycho-social, economic, and academic outcomes of teen parenthood as well as the consequences of an STI. Educators teach skills for making responsible decisions about their sexuality.
Program Goals:
Students will…
- Increase their knowledge about human reproductive anatomy and the impact of sexual activity on a teenager’s well-being (physically, mentally and socially).
- Feel empowered to take personal responsibility for increasing their total wellness (including sexual health) and to increase student disapproval of risky sexual activity.
- Develop strategies and tools to make healthy decisions and explore alternatives to sexual activity.
