Speakeasy Testimonial:

“...The guided discussion helped me be more clear, confident, fluent and aware of questions relating to sex, sexual health, and even my own values concerning these issues. I now notice opportunities for discussing this information with my daughter and feel more confident about what is appropriate and when.My daughter has noticed this new confidence in me and has approached me with her questions far more frequently and openly than she had before....”

- Breanna Coyle, a recent Speakeasy participant from Dublin
