If the thought of “the talk” makes your palms sweat a little\, this workshop is for you! \nThis workshop will be geared towards parents/caregivers of children 9 years old and older. \nOops! We could not locate your form. \nLindsey Hoskins is a deeply committed sex nerd with a degree in Sex Education. She dove into this work in 1999 and fell in love with helping folks get comfy and start talking about topics that can often be challenging. Lindsey joined Family Tree in 2002 and is now the Director of Health Education. Lindsey is most proud of the peer sex-ed program she started for queer and trans teens and her work with parents of young children. Lindsey is happiest when teaching puberty\, and don’t even get her started on lube. In 2017\, her book\, Principles of Pleasure: Working with the Good Stuff as Sex Therapists and Educators\, was released. Her mother is very proud.

SUMMARY:Celebrating Nonbinary Parents Day with Founder Johnny Blazes
DESCRIPTION:  \nAt Family Equality\, we know that there is no one way to build a family\, nor is there any single universal kind of parent. Some parents celebrate Mothers’ Day in May\, Fathers’ Day in June\, or parents day in July. When Johnny became a parent\, they wanted a special day to celebrate their parenthood—and they invited their nonbinary parent friends to join along.   \nJess Venable-Novak\, Family Equality’s Family Engagement Manager\, sat down to talk with Johnny about being a nonbinary parent\, founding a special day to celebrate nonbinary parents\, and how the holiday has changed over the years.  \nTW//Infant Loss
