This age-appropriate program uses practical tips, humor, and videos to engage with students on various hygiene-related topics like handwashing, showering, dental hygiene, skin care, clothing care, nail care, and the healthiest menstrual hygiene practices to help prepare students for the transition from childhood to adolescence. Discussion emphasizes the relationship between self-care and success and includes a brief introduction to the anatomy and physiology of the menstrual cycle. This program is suitable for all genders and may include additional gender-specific information by request.
