Our Whole Lives is a secular, non-doctrinal, educational sexuality programs spanning ages five to adult. Primary objectives at all stages of the program are developing self-awareness, self-respect, healthy relationships, and understanding responsibilities to self and others.
The messages that children and youth particularly receive that through touch, talk, and behavior affect their future attitudes, values and actions. This curriculum helps participants integrate the values of the program with their own system of values within an open, affirming, and anti-biased environment and in a community of trust, confidentiality and authenticity. It was developed by the Unitarian Universalist Association of Congregations (UUA) and the United Church of Christ (UCC).

Facilitators: Our Whole Lives facilitators are volunteers that are trained by professional staff of United Church of Christ or the Unitarian Universalist Association.
We all wait our children to make the right decisions. The best way to do that is to give information that will support your family’s beliefs. These programs help children and youth as they discover who they are with themselves, each other and the rest of the world, especially their boy image, self-esteem, relationships and how they can handle their sexuality in the healthiest way.
