Talking to your kids about sex: Tips for parents, guardians, and askable adults
Tuesday, June 3 - Thursday, June 5, 2025
The prospect of talking to young people about sex and sexual health can be a difficult one, often made more challenging by a lack of knowledge, personal discomfort, or shame around the topic. The good news is that these conversations don’t need to be feared or avoided. If you are a parent, guardian, or an askable adult (This could be someone like an aunt/uncle, family friend, mentor or teacher – anyone who wants to feel prepared to have these conversations with the kids in their life that they support/love/care for.), the Workplace Wellbeing team has got you covered for timely information on this sensitive subject, including age-appropriate knowledge, and fantastic resources.

These three workshops will focus on two interconnected concepts: validation and self-trust. Psychotherapist, Meghan Watson, will deliver the series through a combination of lecture style and experiential reflection, offering psychoeducational material and opportunities for you to reflect on the material.
