Abstract
My Vital Cycles®, an ovulatory-menstrual health literacy program, was developed and trialled with Year 9 girls. Following the WHO’s health-promoting-school framework, it reached the school’s classroom, health care, family and community settings. A holistic approach to the cycle positively framed this biopsychosocial phenomenon, whilst pragmatically addressing common issues. With recommendations for policy, curricula and schools; future studies to implement My Vital Cycles® would empower tomorrow’s women with skills for a lifetime of good health.
