Bring Us to Your School or Group
Are you interested in bringing one of our workshops for parents or families to your school or group? We’d happily speak with you about partnering with your school, PTA, or group.
We’ve created a suite of skill-building workshops to support parents and families to have open and honest conversations about sex, relationships, and adolescence. These interactive workshops can be tailored to meet the needs of your group. Group sizes can vary, though we require a minimum of 10 adults or 10 families for in-person workshops. We offer workshops in Spanish as well.
*We are currently not scheduling in-person workshops. Please get in touch with us for more information about our online workshops.
Parent Talk Workshops
Our Parent Talk workshops create a safe space for parents to learn how to make intentional and deliberate decisions about their family’s approach to sexual health and development. This helps establish positive common language, attitudes, and communication patterns for a lifetime. Following is a list of Parent Talk Workshop topics we offer:
Parent Talk: Being an Ask-able Adult
These live webinars aim to cover the why, when, what, and how of talking with children and teens about sexual health and relationships. We encourage participants to enable their videos, and use the chat function to respond to guided questions throughout the presentation. There will be an opportunity for live Q&A at the end. Webinars focus on relevant topics for the following age groups:
Preschool: Parent approach, appropriate behaviors, body autonomy/consent/safety.
Lower Elementary: Parent approach, anatomy, reproduction, consent/body safety.
Upper Elementary: Parent approach, puberty, consent/body safety.
Middle School: Parent approach, sexuality, emotional & social integration, pornography.
High School: Parent approach, sexuality, pornography, values clarification.
Parent Talk: Body Basics – Starting Conversations Early
For parents/trusted adults of preschool aged children
All through toddlerhood and early childhood we are educating our kids about sexual health – we just don’t know we are doing it! Making intentional and deliberate decisions about your family’s approach to sexual health and development from the very beginning can establish positive common language, attitudes, and communication patterns for a lifetime.
Parent Talk: TechSex – Navigating the New World of Sexuality with your Teen
For parents/trusted adults of children in middle or high school
Join us for a thought-provoking discussion about the sexuality and dating culture of teenage digital natives. Talking points will include the impact of social media and pornography on relationships, and how parents and trusted adults can engage their children in open and honest conversations. Effective communication is a protective factor that can help prepare teens to make informed, safe, and healthy decisions in the future, especially as students are preparing for adult life.
Parent Talk: Healthy Behaviors, Healthy Relationships for Students with Special Needs
For parents/trusted adults of students with various special learning needs and challenges
This workshop focuses on how to talk to children with intellectual disabilities about friendships, personal boundaries, social media, sexual health, and safety. Our goal is to equip and encourage parents to confidently help their children develop healthy behaviors and relationships. We will share tips, strategies, and insights to use with your kids immediately, and into the future.

Family Talk Workshops
At Family Talk workshops, parents, children, and families of all structures build connectedness and trust as they explore health-related topics. Families learn, laugh, and share together making a sometimes sensitive subject more comfortable. These workshops aim to foster deep connections through dialogue and activities, creating a strong foundation for a lifetime of communication. Family Talk workshops are inclusive – we learn together in mixed family and gender groups to encourage understanding and acceptance. Following is a list of Family Talk Workshops we offer.
Family Talk: Body Basics | Should I tell?
For families with children ages 5-7 years old
This live webinar guides trusted adults through an important body boundaries and personal safety conversation with their young children. A trained Health Connected educator will guide and support families in conversations about public and private body parts, ABC body signals, and action plans. Families will engage via anonymous chats, polls, and short private conversations with each other. This important conversation is a gentle introduction to body autonomy and body safety.
Family Talk: Where Did I Come From?
For families with children ages 7-9 years old
This live webinar is the easiest way to be guided through the human reproduction conversation that becomes the basis for conversations about sexual health and relationships in the future. A trained Health Connected educator will guide and support families through conversations about families, bodies, and babies with an easygoing, candid approach. Families will engage via anonymous chats, polls, and short private conversations with each other. This is the essential conversation that trusted adults must have so that subsequent questions about human sexuality can be answered from a solid foundation. Older students may also participate if they have not had this important conversation with their adults.
Family Talk: What’s Happening To Me?
For families with children ages 9-11 years old
This live webinar is about the physical changes that happen during puberty. A trained Health Connected educator will guide participants through reproductive and sexual anatomy and the physical changes that puberty brings. Families will engage via anonymous chats, polls, and short private conversations with each other. This is a simple and effective way to open the door to tricky topics and begin normalizing conversations about bodies and sexual health.
