Reproductive Health Awareness: A Wellness, Self-Care Approach

Reproductive Health Awareness is a holistic approach to reproductive health incorporating many important aspects such as body awareness, self-care, gender, sexuality, and interpersonal communication. The RHA manual consists of 14 modules, which cover these topics in depth and explain how these issues affect people throughout the lifecycle. The modules are adaptable to a variety of settings and audiences and are designed to allow trainers flexibility. Each module can be used independently, allowing for one specific topic to be integrated into an existing training program, or the manual can be used in its entirety to create an RHA workshop. The activities highlighted will help providers increase knowledge, examine attitudes, and practice skills to address the broad range of clients and community members they serve.
