How can you take part in Let’s Talk Month?
Youth consistently report that parents are their number one influence when it comes to making decisions about sex, yet addressing this topic can be uncomfortable or intimidating for parents and guardians. Let’s Talk Month is a national campaign to promote this crucial parent-child communication, and to show parents and guardians that they have the power to positively influence the healthy sexual development of their kids. Join us by starting the conversation in your community!
