Course Programs
Parents want and need to talk to their kids about sex and growing up, but may struggle with knowing how to initiate this conversation. What to say, how much to say, and when to say it are just a few questions parents may have. Some are waiting for their kids to ask, and some kids will never ask!
The "Talking 'The Talk' Together" series is designed for parents and kids (ages 10-16), and are unique because both parents and kids attend classes TOGETHER! These courses are excellent for parents who are interested in participating in their children’s education about sexuality and in sharing their values.
The Talk Institute also provides classes designed just for parents, to help parents have these "talks" on their own.

Continuing Education |
 |
Many groups take advantage of our Continuing Education classes as a means to stay connected in between our main curriculum, the three “Talking The Talk Together” courses. These classes are great refreshers of information, and also are great for groups who may want to start on “lighter” topics before discussing sex and growing up. We can also customize topics upon request. (video clip)
