About Real Life - Parent Information Session
Sexuality education begins at home and can be supported by schools as a part of a broader health curriculum aimed at maximising children’s wellbeing. About Real Life’s programs are sensitive to and respectful of the values and beliefs of parents/carers and families, and provide an excellent starting point for family discussion about human sexuality and respectful relationships.
