Our Whole Lives is a series of sexuality education curricula for five age groups: grades K-1, grades 4-6, grades 7-9, grades 10-12, and adults. Our Whole Lives helps participants make informed and responsible decisions about their sexual health and behavior. It equips participants with accurate, age-appropriated information in six subject areas: human development, relationships, personal skills, sexual behavior, sexual health, and society and culture. Grounded in a holistic view of sexuality, Our Whole Lives both provides facts about anatomy and human development and helps participants clarify their values, build interpersonal skills, and understand the spiritual, emotional, and social aspects of sexuality. For more information on OWL for grades K-1 through 7-9, contact Rebecca Froom, Religious Education Director at Rebecca-froom@qwestoffice.net and for grades 10-12 and adult, contact the Lisa McDaniel-Hutchings, Adult Faith Development Director at Lmchutch@cox.net. This program supports parents in educating children about birth, babies, bodies and families. The eight class sessions engage children with stories, songs and activities. It strives to promote dialogue between parent and child. This course is tentatively scheduled for Spring 2007. |
