Healthy Maturing is Girls Inc. of Greater Houston’s adaptation of the Girls Inc. Healthy Sexuality program. This programming focuses on self-esteem, stress management, healthy relationships, health and hygiene.
There are also additional options to discuss the study of anatomy and physiology, the menstrual cycle, and emotional and physical consequences of sexual relationships.
When this program is facilitated we break the girls up into developmental age groups to provide accurate, age-appropriate information.
These age groups are 9–11 and 12–14.
This program can be offered in person or online. If your daughter participates in an online session, we have take home kits available. Parent components are available prior to programs beginning. We encourage you to review the information and ask us any questions you have. We view parents as the first and primary educator. These talks can be intimidating or tough, so let us know how we can help. Please contact us about how we can help navigate these conversations.
This program is currently only offered to our schools upon request. It has been adapted to meet the Texas Education Sex Ed Policy. The adaptive and full curriculum can be offered to the public upon request.
