Healthy Teen Relationships

With a comprehensive approach that goes beyond biology, this book explores the emotions and personal values that affect teens' sexual choices. It presents teachers with ways to encourage healthy talk about sensitive subjects, provides group activities designed to get teens thinking about their choices, and includes the latest information on safe sex, sexually transmitted infections, contraception, and abstinence. Helping create a safe place for adults and youth to talk about sex and sensitive topics, it gives ideas on how to work with parents and schools so everyone's values are respected, while teens still get the information they need. With topics that range from personal responsibility and values to media influences and teen pregnancy, this book’s approach is "abstinence-plus" and is designed to integrate easily into any curriculum.
