ACCESS THE ONLINE PRESENTATION
What others are saying about accessing online presentation:
“...I also want to say that running it online was so helpful because it meant both my partner and I could attend. Doing it in person would have meant someone staying home or getting a babysitter, so this was far more accessible…”

"...Many thanks Vanessa. I was a bit surprised by just how much content there needed to be - but all of it was important! A bit frightening about the issues of on-line porn; and the age at which teenagers are experiencing sexual behaviours these days!
...I especially thought your examples of wording to initiate conversations, or to answer tricky questions were very helpful. I’m glad to be able to find some of these on your website...
Many thanks again for being so open to having others join in.

“...I just wanted to say a great big thank you for the session you conducted (online) last week. It was very informative and there are many new concepts and ideas my partner and I will take away.
The overall message of “who do you want to be having these talks with your kids?” really resonated and affirmed that we are in the best position to be doing this work. It also affirmed that we’re on the right track with many things. I’ve since bought the book “Sex is a Funny Word” which my 10 year old loves, and am looking into all the other resources…”
