Parents are the first and most important source of sex and relationship education a person receives. 

Empowering parents with the comfort and tools they need to have age-appropriate conversations about sexuality and sexual health is critical for the health and safety of our children.

The ‘big talk’ is no longer effective to keep your child healthy and safe but there are few opportunities for parents to learn how to begin and be prepared for these important conversations about values, body science, and safety.

SLI offers engaging and entertaining parent workshops using evidence-based knowledge and innovative teaching and learning methods, to help equip parents with the tools they need.
