Our Tricky Talks programs are conducted for primary schools either face-to-face or Online for both students and families to attend together. We also schedule community Tricky Talks programs throughout the year for students and families to attend when schools are unable to schedule. Our program provides the opportunity to facilitate communication between parents and their children.

• Discuss the male and female reproductive systems, foetal development and the birth process
