Interview with Melissa Heckman

In this interview Drew and Lizette speak to Melissa K. Heckman, LICSW, MEd (they/them/theirs & she/her/hers) about the importance of comprehensive sex education in schools, and programs that are currently available to fill the gaps of what isn't currently taught. We also share a few embarrassing stories, which highlight what can happen when youth are not given accurate information about their bodies or how to care for themselves. We also talk about the importance of families having these discussions at home, and the lasting positive impacts that it can have on your children's views on sex, consent, and their overall well-being.
