October is Let’s Talk Month
Let’s Talk Month is a community campaign that supports parents in their efforts to talk to their children openly and honestly about sexuality and relationships. Let’s Talk Month is an excellent opportunity for you to involve parents in your sexual health education work with youth. Use ETR’s emerging research on parent-child connectedness (PCC) to design Let’s Talk Month intervention activities that will increase important parent-behaviors that lead to PCC (PDF).

Other Announcements
National Latino AIDS Awareness Day, October 15, 2006
Latinos in the United States continue to be disproportionately affected by the HIV and AIDS epidemic, with the second highest AIDS case rate in the nation. Social, economic, and cultural barriers limit the ability of many Latino youth to receive accurate and adequate information on preventing HIV, STIs and unwanted pregnancy. Latino youth need comprehensive, accurate information and culturally competent, confidential, and affordable services in order to help stop the spread of HIV. For information on the Awareness Day, please visit www.omhrc.gov
For national resources on Latinos and HIV/AIDS, visit: HIV/AIDS Policy Fact Sheet: Latinos and HIV/AIDS (PDF), The Facts – Youth of Color: At Disproportionate Risk of Negative Sexual Health Outcomes or From Research to Practice: The Sexual Health of Latina Adolescents – Focus on Assets.

Federal Bill Introduced to Reduce Number of Unintended Pregnancies and Abortions (HR 6067)

The bill, which includes 20 initiatives, would increase funding for health care for low-income women with children, provide no-cost visits from nurses to teens and women who have given birth for the first time, expand a tax credit for adoption and fund child care services for parents in college.

Reflective Practice Groups for Adolescent Parent Providers
3:30 p.m. – 5:30 p.m.
Location TBA
Working with infants, toddlers and their parents is both rewarding and challenging, evoking powerful feelings in the professionals who deliver these relationship-based services. This can be especially true when working with adolescent parents. By “stepping back” to explore our observations, feelings and actions, we can begin to understand our emotional responses. This practice of reflection helps us to remain emotionally available and connected to families–within appropriate professional boundaries–so we can develop interventions that support the evolving relationship between the parent and child.
The Center of Excellence in Children’s Mental Health, CEED and MOAPPP are offering a series of monthly reflective practice groups designed specifically for adolescent parent providers. The size of the group is limited and participants are asked to commit to the entire series of four sessions.
For more information, please see the flyer (PDF). If you have questions about registration and scholarship information contact Marilyn Colby Rivkin at MOAPPP, 651-644-1447 ext 15, [email protected]. For questions about the course structure and content, contact Michele Fallon at CEED, 612-874-4741, [email protected].
