Family Communication on Sexuality

With so much sexual imagery and talk in the media, it's important that parents help their young people to find the meaning behind it. Parents sometimes worry about what to say or how to begin talking about sexual issues, and sometimes the conversation doesn't happen. It might be because parents have no model to follow if their own parents didn't talk with them about sex. This workshop will help parents clarify the values they want to communicate to their children/teens and offer tips and tricks to make it easier and effective. Parents are the primary sexuality educators of their children - meet with a Planned Parenthood educator to learn communication tools that work.
