The Talk: Preparing Parents for Sexual Violence Prevention with youth and young adults
This 2 hour workshop is designed to educate parents on how to facilitate introductory conversations with their children about bodily autonomy, coercion and consent, and other themes that address sexual violence prevention in youth. This workshop is led by licensed therapist and 8+ year advocate in the field of sexual violence against youth and young adult, Taylour Neal, and is influenced by her work with youth and teen survivors of childhood sexual abuse, field research and national best practices. Parents who complete the 2 hour workshop should expect to walk away with understanding of how to navigate the complex conversation of body boundaries, best practices in teaching children about sex and sexual relationships as well as tools to build rapport with youth and young adults who may be hesitant to discuss such topics with parents.
This workshop is open to parents with children of all ages, from infancy to 18 years of age, as violence can occur at any period of life. Parents with children between the ages of 2-16 will find this workshop most helpful as these are the developmental stages directly discussed in the workshop.

FAQ
Can my children attend?
No. No children are able to attend this workshop due to the content of the presentation. However, a version of “The Talk” will be available soon for a parent/child experience together.
Is the fee for the workshop per person or per household?
The fee for the workshop is per person, therefore if you AND your spouse or you and the other parent/grandparent/babysitter of the child would like to attend, you both must sign up and pay registration.
Is there a trigger warning for this workshop?
Yes, this workshop will openly discuss sex, sexual assault/abuse, and other forms of violence that youth and young adults experience. To actively prevent these things, we must name them. As a trauma-informed trainer, all matters will be discussed in ways relevant to learning and will not be expolited for “shock factor” but instead remain redacted to educational use.
