What people are saying.
Having worked internationally in the field of sex and relationships education for over 25 years, first for the U.N. and more recently for several universities, I have come across many publications purporting to be written for parents. Normally, these are couched in medical or technical language with a focus on abstinence. Jenny’s work was very different, engaging directly with what young people think and do, as well as the varying needs of parents. Writing from the heart as well as the head, she managed to cut through much of the obfuscation and nonsense that abounds. It is no surprise that Talk Soon, Talk Often came to be reprinted and distributed by state government after state government here in Australia, and is now finding broad international appeal.”

Jenny’s knowledge, honesty and warmth shone through even though our parent session was done via WebEx. The session was perfectly pitched for our school community. In a word, sensational!’
