Sexual Health Education Resource Guide: Kindergarten – Grade 8
This guide helps educators find FREE, ready-to-use resources that support teaching the B.C. PHE (Physical and Health Education) sexual health learning standards. The guide is intended to support professional judgment and does not include every available resource.
Sexual and mental health is part of the PHE curriculum. When students know information about their body, they are empowered to make healthy decisions. As our province has moved to a more holistic approach to health, knowing how our bodies and minds develop is vital to children keeping themselves healthy and safe.
Parents and guardians are essential partners in the sexual health education of their children. The Canadian Guidelines for Sexual Health Education indicate that schools should focus on teaching facts, and not specific values. It is important for parents and guardians to follow up with students and share their family values.
