7th Grade
The 7th graders go a health field trip to The Robert Crown Center. The program is 85 minutes long and it develops students skills so that they make informed choices about their behavior, and feel confident and competent about acting on these choices. Teen Sexual Health provides students with information about the risks of any type of sexual contact which include not only teen pregnancy but also sexually transmitted diseases (STD’s). Students explore the psycho-social, economic, and academic outcomes of teen parenthood as well as the consequences of an STD.
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.
