Re: Darkness to Light Stewards of Children Training in SD
Wish I could attend! Back in 2010 I co-authored the San Francisco Adolescent Health Working Group Sexual Health Toolkit Module . Now as a parent of young child, I have found the D arkness to Light resources to be just what I needed for this age and stage, for my own parenting and to share with other parents seeking info on the subject.
