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 sexual 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 Courageous Conversations—because honest and respectful conversations build stronger relationships. Join us in making ‘the talk’ easier for everyone by creating safe spaces for dialogue about sexual health and relationships. 🌟 #LetsTalkMonth #CourageousConversations |

During Let’s Talk Month, we’re encouraging families to engage in Courageous Conversations—sharing wisdom and creating safe spaces for open dialogue about love, relationships, and health.
