Community Talks Sex at Jika Jika Centre
Community Talks Sex is a series of panels designed to support parents in guiding their young people through the complex and often challenging topics of sex, sexuality, and relationships. We are a joint Darebin Neighbourhood House Network project, funded by the North East Public Health Unit (NEPHU).
When is it?
The program will be hosted at the Reservoir Neighbourhood House:
7pm, Monday September 9th
How do the panels work?
The panels last for 1 hour and are aimed at parents of school aged children to help to socialise them to the concepts around sex and sexuality to help them support their young people's sex education.
The panels are aimed at parents of children of all ages.
Questions are facilitated by our experienced facilitator via text message or in person if people feel comfortable.
We do not film the events to maintain privacy and community safety.
