Effective puberty and sexuality education programming requires unbiased, medically accurate programs that can be tailored to meet the unique needs of each student, classroom, and community. Health Connected's five original curricula are just that. Puberty Talk, Teen Talk Middle School, Teen Talk High School, Teen Talk High School Refresher, and Teen Talk Adapted for All Abilities have been designed in accordance with best practices in the field and are amongst the few curricula nationwide in compliance with the California Healthy Youth Act. 

 

Our curricula can be delivered by our trained team of health educators through our in-school Youth Services Program, or can be purchased separately and implemented by teachers and youth providers who have been trained by our expert team.
