#126 Talking to Teens About Consent

How do you talk to your teens about consent?

If you have a daughter you worry that if she wears that short skirt she could get sexually assaulted. If you have a son you can worry that he would be accused of sexually assaulting a girl. You think not my daughter or not my son. Today we are going to be talking about consent and what it is and . what role does drugs and alcohol play in the overall consent conversation. We'll talk about the do’s and don’t’s of consent and how to talk to our teens about it.

To address these issues I have invited Christy Keating to be our guest.
