Our mission is to help parents keep their children healthy and safe by doing what parents do best—talking with their kids. "Can We Talk?" parent-child communication workshops help parents talk with their children about all the "tough issues."

Can we talk about what today's information-age kids are facing? As adults, we understand that children are bombarded with thousands of TV and Internet messages about sex, drugs, and violence.  We also know that parents are the best educators when it comes to their own children—and they need support addressing important topics like puberty, relationships, sexuality, alcohol, drug use, and the law.

The "Can We Talk?" workshops are a resource for families—supporting Rhode Island’s parents, caregivers, community educators, and young people—giving them the tools to talk  about health, safety, and justice. "Can We Talk?" provides parents and other caring adults with workshops, support, and resources, giving them the information and strategies needed to best protect and guide their children. "Can We Talk?" also helps parents by sponsoring workshops for their children that provide young people with the resources and skills they need to stay healthy, safe, and successful.
