Helping parents and caregivers navigate conversations about sex, bodies, consent, and healthy relationships with their children, in developmentally appropriate and shame-free ways.
Many parents feel uncomfortable, underprepared, or anxious about talking to their children about sex, bodies, and relationships. Whether you were raised in a home where these topics were off-limits or you simply don't know where to begin, this group meets you exactly where you are.
This is a psychoeducational group, meaning it blends education, skills-building, and peer support in a warm, nonjudgmental, and clinically facilitated environment. You will leave with practical tools, real language to use, and the confidence to keep the conversation going with your child.
Facilitated by Meka Alford, LPC, CPCS, NCC, this group is affirming of all family structures, cultural backgrounds, and parenting philosophies.
This group welcomes parents, guardians, foster parents, grandparents, and caregivers of children across all developmental stages. Groups may be offered by age range or as a mixed-age cohort.
Ages 4 to 7
Body autonomy, correct anatomical language, and healthy boundaries from the start.
Ages 8 to 12
Puberty, identity, consent, media literacy, and navigating curiosity with confidence.
Ages 13 to 18
Relationships, technology, pornography, identity, and keeping dialogue open through the teen years.
By the end of this group, participants will have practical tools, increased confidence, and a real plan for ongoing conversation with their children.
