Our state’s health education guidelines, which inform the sex and relationship education taught in our schools, haven’t been updated since 1999 🫣 But TODAY you can help change that. Submit public comments in support of the new Health & Physical Education Framework.

“I was feeling panicked because I didn’t know what he would do next.” Two women say they were sexually assaulted by a state licensed massage therapist. Red flags missed & warning signs one accuser says were ignored. nbcboston.app.link/8TbY8WN7k… @NBC10Boston @barcc @MassageEnvy
