Every health teacher should use this lesson, which prompts learners to research all the available resources and support organizations for any kind of health care in their area. Help your class learn what resources are in their own neighborhoods: clinics, dentists, youth organizations for gay and lesbians, counselors, and more. Extend the lesson to include colorful brochures about an organization they researched.
