Education

Young people learn vital, age-appropriate sexual health information when they need it most. The KBFPC curriculum covers puberty, anatomy, reproduction, attitudes and behaviors, sexually transmitted infections/STDs, contraception, dating violence/healthy relationships, and consent. We ensure young people know about essential resources, and help them begin important conversations with parents or trusted adults.

The REC is proud to partner with teachers, administrators, and school district staff to bring high-quality, evidence-based, trauma-informed comprehensive sexual health and wellness lessons to students in middle school and high school on the southern Kenai Peninsula. Our curriculum meets the requirements of the Alaska Safe Children’s Act (Erin and Bree’s Law). In accordance with AS 14.30.361, our materials and teaching team are approved by the School Board, and parents can opt out their student(s) if they wish.

Young people learn about the risks of substance use and misuse, addiction and how to prevent it, and skills to assertively communicate their choices. Trauma-informed lessons destigmatize the reality of substance use among families and loved ones while providing facts that help youth make healthy decisions.

Students gain ways to manage difficult emotions and bounce back from tough experiences, including using Body-Mind Regulation practices, identifying trusted adults and supportive friends, choosing healthy boundaries and advocating for them, and seeking mental health support.

Young people explore and practice building blocks of healthy relationships like respect, consent, communication, and boundaries, along with behaviors to avoid, the dynamics of teen dating violence, what digital abuse looks like, and where to get help. Parents and caregivers can learn strategies for building trust and engaging teens around difficult subjects.
