The Health Education Campaign works to promote comprehensive health education, including sex education, and educate about the dangers of abstinence-only programming. Currently, public schools in Massachusetts are not required to teach comprehensive health education, and as a result, some teach abstinence-only, others teach both comprehensive and ab-only programs, and still others don’t have any health education.

The Health Education Bill (H.597) would change all that and make health education part of the state’s core curriculum. In addition to building support for this bill, the Health Education Campaign seeks to reach out to the people who are most influential in deciding school curriculum (school committee members) by mobilizing support among parents, students, and other community members.

We need your help to make comprehensive health education a reality in Massachusetts. Learn more.
