Let's Talk Month

Every October, Fact Forward participates in Let’s Talk Month, a public awareness campaign founded by Advocates for Youth that encourages open communication between young people and their parents or other trusted adults.
Believe it or not, teens want to hear from their parents regarding love, sex, and relationships. Starting age-appropriate conversations early and continuing into early adulthood will help young people make smarter decisions regarding their health.
Let's Talk Month Toolkit
This year Fact Forward is turning up the volume on conversations that matter. We believe the everyday moments between young people and the adults in their lives are powerful opportunities to connect, share, and grow together.
This toolkit is your starting place. Below you’ll find simple, ready-to-use resources—social posts, activities, and events—that help make talking about relationships, health, and growing up a little easier (and a lot more impactful). Whether you’re a parent, caregiver, educator, or community member, you have the power to unmute the moment and spark change.
![]() | In observance of Let’s Talk Month, Fact Forward is promoting everyday conversations that make a big impact. Some of the best conversations happen in the middle of everyday life. During a car ride, in the kitchen, or while running errands. Don’t wait for the “perfect” time. #UnmuteTheMoment and start the talk today.

For these families, grandparents aren’t just storytellers—they’re role models, caregivers, and trusted guides.
