UU San Mateo

Our Whole Lives is a comprehensive sexuality education curriculum for 7^th through 9^th graders. Participants in the class learn accurate information about anatomy, physical development, relationships, sexual activity, sexually transmitted diseases, contraception and STD prevention, sexual orientation, gender identity and more.

They also have a unique opportunity to explore and articulate their own values, and become comfortable talking about sexuality with their peers and trusted adults.

OWL helps participants make informed and responsible decisions about their sexual health and behavior. It equips participants with accurate, age-appropriate information in human development, relationships, personal skills, sexual behavior, sexual health, and society and culture.

Grounded in a holistic view of sexuality, OWL provides not only facts about anatomy and human development, but helps participants to clarify their values, build interpersonal skills, and understand the spiritual, emotional, and social aspects of sexuality.

Our Whole Lives will be offered in 2013-2014.
