Our Whole Lives Values

While Our Whole Lives is secular, it is not value-free. The program gives clear messages about the following key sexuality issues:

• self-worth

• sexual health

• responsibility

• justice and inclusivity
  
   

Our Whole Lives recognizes and respects the diversity of participants with respect to biological sex, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, and disability status in addition to cultural and racial background. The activities and language used throughout the program have been carefully chosen to be as inclusive as possible of this human diversity.
