Collaborative series with special guests:
Colleen Smith and Jessica Gyamfi
Jessica and Colleen are 4th year nursing students who worked with us to create a special issue series for parents and caregivers. In it, we tackle the complexities of conversations about sex in the current moment, offer practical tips on how to answer questions from kids, and links to helpful online sources.
If you are a parent of children or teens, care for them in your work or simply have children and young people you care about in your community, this series is for you!
