While not all parents “parent” the same way, every parent wants the same outcome: for their child to be healthy, happy and safe. However, keeping your child safe isn’t easy, and sometimes it requires asking for help – particularly with navigating those hard, but necessary conversations.

Smarter Parents, Safer Kids is a workshop designed to help parents and caregivers master effective communication about sex-related topics with their children. If you’re a parent, guardian or someone who cares for children, we invite you to join us at one of our upcoming workshops. Meals and access to child watch will be provided for in person trainings.

This is a FREE WORKSHOP. Registration is required so we can get an accurate headcount prior to the workshop.
