REAL Essentials Health

Full Description

REAL Essentials Health helps connect a client's sexual behavior patterns with the condition of his or her heart. It expands the dialogue to supplement the medical information with healthy relationship skills.

Activities prepare clients to better:

• Identify areas where they may feel unwanted or unworthy when it comes to love
• Discover their personality characteristics
• Understand their relationship patterns and learn to identify relationship red flags
• Determine their personal strengths
• Create community support networks to help them succeed
• Develop strategies for setting boundaries and breaking unhealthy patterns
• Start fresh with goals for relational health and future family stability

This curriculum utilizes the transtheoretical model of behavioral change theory; the same medical model used in smoking and drug cessation projects developed by the U.S. Public Health Service.
