Media, Sex and Health: A Community Guide for Professionals and Parents

By Kate H. Rademacher

Foreword by Jane D. Brown, Ph.D. 

Published and distributed by The Women's Center, Chapel Hill, NC,
www.womenspace.org

Media, Sex and Health: A Community Guide for Professionals and Parents
is a resource intended to promote adult-teen communication about media
and sexuality, so that young people can learn to independently analyze
media messages and develop healthy media habits.  Today, children and
teens spend an average of 6 hours a day with media. Research tells us
that excessive exposure to media messages about sexuality can contribute
to an increase in early and/or unsafe sexual activity among adolescents.
This manual provides an overview of the problem as well as ideas for
ways that parents, educators and other adults who work with youth can
help address the issues associated with unhealthy media consumption. The
manual includes lesson plans for teachers and youth leaders; tips for
parents and prevention specialists; and information about media effects,
media literacy and Internet safety. 

Recently released by The Women's Center, a non-profit organization
located in Chapel Hill, NC, Media, Sex and Health: A Community Guide for
Professionals and Parents is available for free online at:
