Secondary schools across Huron
County had a delivery this month
that will help in their parenting
classes.
The Huron County Health Unit
has distributed resource kits to six
schools. The kit is designed to help
teachers have the most current
information on healthy pregnancy
and parenting.
Public health nurse Rhonda
Howatt from the Huron County
Health Unit says although it’s
long before they’re likely to
have children, the resource
is pertinent to local high school
students.
“The material puts emphasis
on healthy lifestyles, including
nutrition and readiness to parent.
It is important to both male and
female students so they can go into a
future pregnancy healthy,” she
said.
“This information gives students
an awareness of how their lifestyle
choices now can have an influence
on their future plans of pregnancy
and parenting.”
The kit, called Planning Ahead for
Pregnancy and Parenting
Reproductive Health Curriculum
Support Resource Kit, was adapted
by the Huron County Health Unit
from other Health Units. Each kit is
worth over $500 and includes videos
and written materials.
