Healthy Choices, Healthy Relationships is a ready-to-teach curriculum for teaching relationship skills in health classes. Fully aligned with national frameworks for health education, Healthy Choices introduces students to the foundations of strong, satisfying relationships. In ten lessons, teens examine how family and media shape expectations about love and life. They discuss positive dating behaviors, identify and prepare for potential dangers, explore the nature of mature behavior, practice problem solving, and learn other relevant life skills.
A recurring theme is how teens can make informed choices that enhance their relationships, their goals, and how they live their lives. A variety of activities challenge them to carefully observe, evaluate and personalize messages from the lessons.
Healthy Choices, Healthy Relationships comes in a ready-to-use format, including individual and group activities, PowerPoint slides, and posters. Grades 8-12. (Author abstract)
