Candor Health Education Celebrating 50 years of providing sex ed & substance abuse prevention programs to students since 1974.

Once primarily a destination, Candor Health Education has evolved into an important community resource. We've made a commitment to work with youth and the important adults who influence them. As families guide their children into adulthood, our educators are always there providing the most accurate, up-to-date information, educational opportunities and skill-based learning. We work side-by-side with parents, teachers and youth to support a healthy, happy, safe future. Our health educators undergo rigorous training and many have earned advanced degrees. Our staff is composed of physicians, nurses, teachers, curriculum and technology specialists who provide a safe learning environment where kids can ask any questions and get real answers from experts.

Know the Facts.

Kids are surrounded by messages about substances every day—from social media and advertising to conversations with friends.

Knowledge Is Power.

When kids have accurate, age-appropriate information, they’re better prepared to understand risks, ask questions, and make informed choices.

At Candor Health Education, we believe prevention starts with education. The more kids know, the more confident they can feel navigating the choices they face.

Hurley will discuss the issue of “relational aggression”—the silent, destructive forces of social isolation and gossip in digital spaces used to inflict harm. This kind of behavior frequently triggers heightened anxiety, school avoidance, and depression in our youth. We invite you to learn with us how to identify the quiet red flags and warning signs that a child may be dealing with aggression or feeling distressed.

Join the Zoom at noon or 7pm!
