Let's Talk Month - October
Every October, Fact Forward participates in Let’s Talk Month, a public awareness campaign that encourages open communication between young people and their parents or other trusted adults.
Sex Ed for All Month - May
Each May, during Sex Ed for All Month (also known as National Adolescent Health Month), Fact Forward joins organizations across the country to raise awareness about the need for comprehensive sexual health education.
Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month - February
A new initiative of Fact Forward's, Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month aims to raise awareness about healthy romantic and platonic friendships among adolescents, consent, and boundaries.
Not Right Now
The NOT RIGHT NOW campaign urges teens to think about the consequences before they have sex, make a plan for sexual health, and speak up for themselves. NOT RIGHT NOW can mean many different things: “I don’t want to have sex now,” or “Not tonight; we don’t have protection.” It can also mean, “I don’t want to have another child right now,” for teen parents who want to avoid getting pregnant again.
