Teens are constantly bombarded with sexual messages in the media - from TV, movies, video games and music to the marketing ads for everything from clothing to shampoo. Too often, peer pressure reinforces the negative media and societal messages, encouraging risky behavior.  Our goal is to support parents and provide them with the information and resources they need as their children move into and through the teen years.

Parent education workshops are offered free-of-charge in various locations throughout the Oklahoma City area. The workshops are fun, interactive sessions that help parents, grandparents and other caregivers learn how to talk with their middle school-aged
child(ren) about self-esteem, puberty, media messages, peer pressure, responsible decisions and good health practices.  During the workshops, we will discuss important "growing up" issues facing children today --alcohol, drugs, and HIV/AIDS.  We will also share what their children are learning from their friends and the media.  If you are interested in a parent workshop, please contact Shante Fenner at 405.236.5437 ext. 107.
