Interested in partnering with us? Join us on our mission to empower families to engage in meaningful and informed conversations about sexual health.
Why partner with us?
Let's Talk aims to partner with mission-driven organizations by aligning our research-backed, family-centered sexual health education program with their goals of promoting adolescent well being and healthy relationships. We seek collaborations with healthcare providers and community organizations that engage with families to integrate Let's Talk as a resource to support their existing educational efforts and expand their reach.
By partnering with Let's Talk, organizations can offer a convenient, interactive, and evidence-based tool to the families they serve, addressing the significant unmet need for accessible sexual health information and contributing to improved adolescent sexual literacy and health outcomes. Furthermore, we are actively exploring partnerships with non-profit organizations to ensure our program is accessible to families in need, demonstrating our commitment to health equity and making a broader impact on the community.
