Our workshops are drawn from the curricula Let’s Be Honest: Conversations in Families that Keep Kids Healthy (for parents and caregivers) and Get Real: Comprehensive Sex Ed That Works (for teens). The Get Real High School Curriculum is a comprehensive, evidence-informed sexuality education curriculum developed by Planned Parenthood League of Massachusetts that empowers students in grades 9 and 10 to delay sex and protect themselves from pregnancy and STIs. Get Real High School:
- Emphasizes social and emotional skills as key components of healthy relationships and responsible decision making
- Promotes abstinence from sex as a safe and healthy choice for high school students and provides a comprehensive understanding of sexual health, sexuality and protection methods
- Supports parents and other caring adults as the primary sexuality educators of their teens with activities that encourage dialogue between students and the caring adults in their lives
- Is developmentally appropriate, inclusive of LGBTQ+ youth, trauma informed, and aligned to national health education standards
