SEXUAL HEALTH EDUCATION FOR THE DIGITAL AGE
Give students a program they think is engaging, relevant, and tackles issues that no one else is addressing – the influence of media and pop culture on students’ perceptions of sex and romantic relationships. Even with limited resources and time, community colleges and universities can now respond to increasing pressure to improve retention and graduation rates, and comply with Title IX’s and the Campus Save Act’s sexual assault prevention mandates.
The second edition of Media Aware includes updated media examples, language that reflects all gender identities, and additional content about PEP and PREP.
