- Outcomes
-
Our puberty workshop aims to prepare children for the changes they can expect during adolescence. We use the correct anatomical names for body parts.
This workshop is delivered to mixed gender classes. If requested, we can provide single sex sessions. However, we do advise having a mixed class. We believe it is important the students learn about the changes one another will experience. This is also encouraged by Public Health Lincolnshire.
The students will explore the physical and emotional effects of puberty.
We will also help to normalise menstruation. This will include a demonstration on the use of sanitary products.
This session is roughly an hour and a half and includes an information handout for the students to take home.
