More Than…“The Talk” Mondays

For adults with children of any age who want to have more than “The Talk”

We offer a variety of parent and caregiver classes. Sessions are 75 to 90-minute online.

We support parents and caregivers in their role as the primary sexual health educators for their children. Our programs are designed to:

* Help you identify and express your values regarding healthy sexuality * Understand sexuality topics that are critical at each developmental stage * Increase your comfort with discussing gender diversity and sexual orientation * Learn the facts about sexual health dangers impacting children and youth * Express the important messages about sexuality you want to give your children *

We are not scheduling open enrollment sessions for 25-26 school year.

Please get in touch with us if you would like to organize a session or series for your group.
