Healthy Sexuality - Choices Not Chances Resource Kit

 

The "Healthy Sexuality - Choices Not Chances" Resource Kit was originally developed in partnership with York Region District School Board and York Region Community and Health Services. The purpose of the resource is to provide educators with ready to use information, materials, samples of birth control methods, and samples of protective devices used to protect against Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs), including HIV. The information provided in the resource relates to healthy sexuality as outlined in The Ontario Curriculum, Health and Physical Education 1998.
