National “Let’s Talk Month” 2012

It’s October and National “Let’s Talk Month”. This is an opportunity to focus on the importance of family communication about sexuality.

We know that parents/caregivers are still the most important sex educators of their children, so this month we encourage planning activities that will help parents/caregivers feel better prepared and effective in communicating with their children.

EyesOpenIowa also has a resource library of dvd’s, books, pamphlets, curriculum and other materials available to assist educators in communicating with parents and their children. Click here for more information.
