Healthy Choices, Healthy Relationships:Understanding Character & Consequences

The Dibble Institute

A curriculum for Health classes: Health classes are an important forum for teaching relationship skills to teens -- but the concepts can be difficult to communicate. The innovative HEALTHY CHOICES, HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS program, written by Charlene Kamper, simplifies the task with effective instructional materials that easily integrate into existing content. Fully aligned with national standards for health education, Healthy Choices introduces students to the foundations of forming strong, satisfying relationships. In 10 lessons, they examine how peers, family, and media influence expectations about love and life. They discuss appropriate friendship and dating behaviors, identify and prepare for potential problems, explore the nature of mature interpersonal behavior, practice decision-making and problem solving, and learn other life skills necessary for overall wellness.
