This program is available to the public, interested organizations and co-op preschools.

It covers anatomy and physiology, the physical and emotional changes of puberty, and reproductive health and hygiene. This program is available to the public and interested organizations.

This program is designed for parents of either middle school or high school students looking for some help communicating with their teens. The interactive discussion will include topics such as: teen sexual behavior in today's society, media messages and influence, sexuality education in the schools, and communication that promotes responsible behavior. This program is available to the public and other interested organizations.
