Marshall-Harrison County Health District (MHCHD) invites parents and guardians to attend Let’s Talk: Sexual Health Matters, a free educational class designed to equip families with the tools and confidence to talk with preteens and teens about sexual health, STI prevention, and HPV prevention.
The class is part of MHCHD’s ongoing Building Healthy Futures free wellness series, which focuses on providing trusted, practical health education to support strong families and a healthier community.
Led by subject matter experts from the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS), this session will provide parents and caregivers with:
- Age-appropriate strategies for starting conversations about sexual health
- Clear, medically accurate information about sexually transmitted infections (STIs)
- Guidance on HPV prevention
“Parents and guardians are the most important voices in a young person’s life,” said Jennifer Hancock, MHCHD Executive Director. “This class empowers families with accurate information and practical tools so they can approach these important conversations with confidence.”
Let’s Talk: Sexual Health Matters aims to reduce stigma, increase awareness, and strengthen parent-child communication.
The class will take place on Thursday, April 23, at 1:00 p.m. at the Marshall Public Library in the Gold Room. This class is recommended for adults only to learn skills to communicate with their preteens and teens. The event is free, but registration is encouraged.
Special note: This class is designed for adults only.
