Discussion Questions

Do you think that school nurses should or should not be allowed to discuss contraception and pregnancy options with students? What are the possible pros and cons?
Why are some parents choosing not to vaccinate their children in recent years? How do students view this issue? Should this be a parents’ right? Discuss any current events surrounding this issue- research, lawsuits, outbreaks, CDC news.
Do you feel that there are enough programs and funding available for children regarding mental health promotion and developmental issues? What types of programs are students familiar with? What areas do they feel are not well addressed? How would they improve this situation if given the chance?
