Class Description: This class will focus on the elements of physical health as well mental, emotional, and spiritual health. We will hit topics such as personal hygiene, nutrition, healthy relationships, and some disease processes that are an effect of unhealthy lifestyles. We will discuss some basic first aid, CPR, and how to deal with some emergencies. We will talk about sexuality and the issues and some pitfalls that we face today in this area. I hope to have the Sexual Risk Avoidance Educator from the Cookeville Pregnancy Clinic come and speak about how choices as a teenager in our relationships can affect the rest of our lives. We will touch on the best choice being abstinence but want to leave the "sex talk" to parents and the ability to have this conversation with your kids when you feel like it is appropriate. We hope to cover a broad range of topics that will encompass a holistic approach to health that will help students understand that their health isn’t just about their physical bodies.  UCT recommends for parents to assign a half(½) high school health credit to the student upon completion of this class and its course requirements.
