Health education is such an important topic for young people, but is often challenging to deliver in an age appropriate and impactful way. This book provides teachers with clear, up-to-date information on a range of health-related topics, considering the unique neurology of the teenage brain to help young people learn how to make the best health choices for themselves as they grow through adolescence to adulthood.

All health information is fully referenced and based on rigorous, peer-reviewed data so that teachers can be confident they are accessing reliable and current health information. The book covers how to deliver health education inclusively so that everyone, regardless of sexual orientation, identity, culture or socio-economic status can incorporate the information and skills developed in these lessons into their own lives.

Topics covered include:

• Nutrition and food

• Exercise

• Sleep

• Risk factors

• Puberty

• Misinformation

A wide variety of lesson resources, activities and teacher support is included, delivered in a way that is relevant and actionable for young people. These resources allow teachers to deliver the content confidently, with minimal preparation time, as well as ensuring that students gain the valuable skills they need to be able to take control of their health.
