Family Life Education: Teaching Adults to Communicate with Youth from a Christian Perspective
SummaryText
This manual contains six workshops and a participant handbook designed for a Christian audience. Participants practice communication skills and learn factual information. They discuss these issues in the context of their religious teachings and appropriate Bible verses. The manual encourages open discussion about sexuality, reproductive health, and HIV in the context of faith communities. It aims to provide a forum to clarify Christian values around these topics, while providing accurate technical information. It is not designed to promote religion.
The workshops include:
Workshop 1: Communicating with Young People - introduces the workshop series, ideas about working with youth, and specific Family Life Education (FLE) communication steps.
Workshop 2: Growing and Changing - summarises basic sexual development and reproduction and begins working with role plays, practicing the FLE communication steps.
Workshop 3: Prevention of Sexually Transmitted Infections and HIV - covers basic information on STIs, including HIV.
Workshop 4: Safety and Your Future - addresses gender roles, livelihood issues, the sensitive issue of unintended sex, and alcohol and drug use.
Workshop 5: Family Life - discusses relationships and marriage, planning a family, and contraceptive methods.
Workshop 6: Resources, Responsibilities, Graduation, and Next Steps - emphasises next steps for participants, including how to refer youth to resources.
Note: A companion volume of the Manual from a Muslim perspective is scheduled for publication in late 2006.
The Participant Handbook contains common questions and answers to facilitate dialogue between adults and young people to ensure correct information is disseminated following workshops. It is designed for participants to keep and use when talking about reproductive health and HIV with youth.
