Let's Talk Month—What's It All About?
Let's Talk Month began as a local campaign in 1980 in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Let's Talk Month is now observed in most states and in several other
countries. Each year in October, the campaign promotes effective communication
between young people and the adults they trust, especially their parents.
Let's Talk Month emphasizes the importance of a strong partnership
between the community and the family in helping young people develop
responsible, positive, sexual health attitudes and behaviors.
Faith communities, media, businesses, schools, and community
agencies can assume leadership roles by providing activities,
information, resources,
and educational programs to encourage parents and other
caregivers to have open, honest sexuality discussions with
their children.
Advocates for Youth is the national sponsor
of Let's Talk Month and has a campaign
guidebook and materials available to help.
