As “social distancing” is urged to contain the Coronavirus outbreak, for some, home is exactly where the danger lies. Your home may be safe during the #Covid19Lockdown , but is your neighbour’s home safe?

Thank you, @newsonnbc . Parenting teens is not easy. Talking with teens about sex-related topics, including relationship management, healthy masculinity, prevention of HIV, STD’s and pregnancy is a positive parenting practice. Where there is trust, there is open communication.
