Talking to our children about... SEX INTIMACY RELATIONSHIPS BOUNDARIES CONSENT VALUES
Meet Laura & Liza
We were inspired to create this parent education program based on our collective professional experience in the areas of rape crisis, date rape/child abuse prevention, public health and adolescent counseling. Through our work, we saw first hand the trauma that can happen when children are not educated about healthy relationships, intimacy and sex. We are determined to break this cycle for the next generation growing up today. As parents, we are also passionate about helping children grow to be confident young adults.
