October is Let's Talk Month, a time to remember the importance of parent-child communication:  it's vital in helping teens develop their values around sexuality and skills to protect themselves. Let's Talk Month is also an opportunity for community agencies, religious institutions, businesses, schools, media, parent groups and health providers to plan programs and activities which encourage parent/child communication about sexuality.

What can you do to encourage parent-child communication this month?  Start here for communication tips for parents and ways organizations can get involved.  Then visit the Parents Sex Ed Center for much more information about starting and continuing the conversation.  Make it a great October!
