Celebrate Let’s Talk Month!


October is Let’s Talk Month! Every year, sex educators and advocates use this month to encourage and empower parents to become more confident sex educators of their children and teens.

We at Planned Parenthood of Delaware recognize that parents are the primary sex educators of their children and although sometimes it is uncomfortable or embarrassing to talk about sex, it is essential for the emotional and physical well-being of young people. This month gives us a great opportunity to start the conversation about sex right now! We are here to help parents and providers become more comfortable and confident in their role as sex educators.

To celebrate Let’s Talk Month, the Sexuality Education Training Institute (SETI) of Planned Parenthood of Delaware is excited to offer a free workshop entitled, “Let’s Talk! Discussing sexuality with your child: What to say and when to say it” to parents, educators, and youth service providers.

This interactive workshop includes such topics as effective parent-child communication, how to answer sex questions, sexual development from cradle to college, as well as facts and stats about Delaware teen sexual health today. Please see below for more information:
