It is not always easy to talk to kids about relationships, consent, dating violence, and other difficult topics, but finding a way to have these conversations is vital. MSP’s Parents Talk gives adults the opportunity to develop skills to discuss these topics, and more, with the young people in their lives. Facilitated by experienced MSP educators, Parents Talk provides parents and other adults with guidance on having difficult conversations and "6 Critical Life Messages" to communicate with youth through your actions and words. It also equips adults with tools to support the youth in their life while also respecting their rights and privacy.
