Workshop Topic: Having “The Talk” with Healthy Futures of Texas
Join For Her to learn more about how to talk to young people about expectations, relationships, sexuality, consent, and sexual health. Many of us never had these conversations with a trusted adult when we were a pre-teen or teenager, and it could feel awkward to try to begin this conversation now. We want all parents, caregivers, and trusted adults for young people to feel prepared on beginning those steps and to understand that it’s not just one “talk” but many conversations throughout life.
This workshop promises an engaging conversation, interactive activities, and take-away tips and things to practice after the session. Parents and trusted adults are the experts for their own child(ren), and we want to honor your experiences as we all share helpful information with the group. We cannot wait to share space with you all!
Presented in partnership with Healthy Futures of Texas
Healthy Futures of Texas (HFTX) is a statewide nonpartisan nonprofit organization that works to improve the well-being of young Texans through equitable access to sexual health education and resources. HFTX aims to advance informed decisions about sexual health for young people, their families, and communities.
