PARENT EDUCATION

Parents participate in fun, interactive workshops on a variety of sexuality related topics.

Topics include:

• Parent-Child Communication
• Human Sexuality
• Puberty & Adolescence
• Abuse Prevention
• AIDS/STI Prevention
• Teen Pregnancy Prevention

The parent-child puberty workshop, Growing Up Together, brings 9-12 year olds and their parents/guardians together to learn about the changes of puberty, communication techniques, and methods for making adolescence a period of positive growth.

Parent education workshops can be arranged through PTAs, church groups, colleges, conferences, and other parent organizations. Workshops can be tailored to the particular needs and interests of the group.

Parent education has been found to increase the knowledge, skills, and comfort of participating parents.

Comments from participants include:

"I wish I had known this stuff when I was younger. I'm going to talk to my kids when I get home."

"This is so helpful. Now I can talk to my children and not feel so embarrasssed."
