The NYC student period guide informs and empowers students in every borough. The guide answers questions about puberty and menstruation. It reminds students that free period products are available in restrooms at school.
As they grow up, students can return to the guide year after year, as a supplement to lessons taught in their Health Education classes. Educators, families, nurses, counselors, and other adults who support students can use this guide as a resource. It is printable and available in twelve languages.
This guide was created by New York City Public Schools and the New York City Commission on Gender Equity.
