Love Notes is a holistic approach to sexual health education. It is an interactive program to teach youth all about consent, sexual health, healthy relationships, intimacy, and the emotions involved in sex. This program has games, videos, write-ups, and activities to help share valuable information in a fun way. It also includes information about drugs, sexual assault, technology, and sexting. This program involves most of the issues that teenagers may face. It helps prepare the youth for difficult decisions and situations to help them become self-sufficient in problem-solving skills.

While most programs discuss either sexual health or healthy relationships, most do not discuss both in-depth. This program helps youth develop effective strategies to help them stay safe and build healthy relationships.
