A question of consent: Talking to your teen about sex

Let's All Talk Mental Health
56:28
Consent isn’t just about saying “yes” or “no.” It’s about understanding boundaries, your own and other people’s, and building the confidence to communicate clearly, respectfully, and safely. This session is designed to help parents understand how teenagers learn about consent, where they might get confused, and how we can guide them to form healthy, respectful relationships so that all young people stay safe.
