Parent-Child Communication (Askable Parent Workshops)
Many parents express apprehension about their role as sex educators. Askable Parent Workshops are offered to enhance parents’ abilities to communicate with their children by learning relevant, age-appropriate information. Parents, guardians and others who interact with young people are given the opportunity to explore their own concerns and the tools to continue their dialogue effectively and appropriately.
For more information about Community Education, or to schedule a presentation, contact the Education Department at 352-376-9000.
