Body Smart is a 4-day summer program for middle and high school students. The intent of Body Smart is to help participants learn about healthy relationships, growing up, self-care and safety. Key points of focus will be appropriate boundaries, healthy friendships, changes that take place during puberty, hygiene, private vs public, social media/internet safety, consent, and protection from abuse.
Sessions will be divided based on grade level. High School age participants from 9:00am until 12:00pm (3 hours) and 6th - 8th grade participants from 1-3pm (2hours). Each division runs Monday through Thursday.
All sessions will take place at the DSAMT office 1310 Central Court, Hermitage, TN 37076. Parents may stay at the office during the sessions, but will not be in the class with participants.
A virtual parent information session will be held on Saturday, June 14 at 9:00am to go over the details of the program and answer questions. It is recommended that at least one parent attend the parent session.
