Teaching kids that they have a voice and a choice.
Healthy child development doesn't stop in the early years. Kids need factual, age-appropriate information to help them navigate through adolescence.
Beech Brook’s Comprehensive Sex Education (CSE) Programming is designed to help youths ages 10-18 understand the emotional, social and physical changes that are occuring in their lives. The goal of the program is to educate, inform, empower and motivate these young people to take control of their future by making healthy and responsible choices now and in the years to come.
CSE facilitators are trauma-informed and highly trained in several evidence-based, age-appropriate and medically accurate sexual health curricula. Beech Brook offers programming throughout several school districts and community sites within Cuyahoga County.
Currently, Beech Brook partners with the Family and Children First Council to provide programming free of charge through county funding. In addition, we provide fee-for-service programming tailored to fit the needs of other school and community groups.
