Can We Talk? An Open Discussion on Dating & Sexuality for Moms and Daughters
Talking about sexuality and dating can be awkward and uncomfortable for both moms and daughters. However, sex is everywhere on TV and in the magazines - there’s no avoiding it. Parents can set the stage for a lifetime of healthy sexuality.
Dr. Miriam McDonell of the Women’s Center, and a panel of local medical and mental health providers, invites moms and daughters to join an interactive discussion on dating and sexuality to get the conversation started and help keep it going. Light refreshments will be served.
