Let's Talk Month

I'm Askable
October is Let's Talk Month, a national campaign that supports parents in their efforts to talk to their children openly and honestly about healthy relationships and sexuality.

It's not always easy to talk about sensitive topics like sex and relationships, but it is always important to start talking. Your family depends on you for information about your beliefs, values and expectations. Also, research shows that young people who feel connected to their family and clearly understand their family's values concerning sexuality are more likely to avoid risky behavior.

What messages do you want to share with the children in your life? Create an open environment to share your thoughts and listen to theirs. Let them know that it's okay to ask you questions. You can find the answers together.
