Education: Education and Training

Planned Parenthood of Indiana believes that sexuality education should give complete information so that people can make healthy decisions for themselves. We believe that sexuality education should be comprehensive and age-appropriate and should include healthy, sex-positive messages so that individuals have the foundation of information to make healthy sexual choices. Planned Parenthood will ensure that sexuality is understood as an essential lifelong aspect of being human, and that it is celebrated with respect, openness, and mutuality.

When you need quality information about any sexual health topic, Planned Parenthood of Indiana is here to help. Our educator/trainers are available to teach sessions on a wide variety of topics at your school, after-school group, church, youth center, business, or elsewhere in your community.

The Education section includes information on:
