We provide workshops designed to increase parents’ confidence and comfort in talking with their children about sexuality and relationships. Interactive activities and discussion help parents identify their family’s values about sexuality and clarify how to communicate these to their children. Issues addressed include why you should talk with your child about sexuality; your child’s physical, mental, emotional, and social development; how to give easy answers to tough questions; and where to find more information and support.
You’ll leave feeling better prepared to respond to your children’s questions, and more comfortable and confident talking with their children about sexuality.
