Have you checked out our newly redesigned website [1]? 

Our commitment to sexual education and supporting Texas families, schools,
and communities remains strong, and that's why we are excited to share that
our team has been working hard on updating our website with a refreshed
look and better features to make your experience even more enjoyable.

We're so excited to have reached this milestone in our digital journey, and
we couldn't have done it without your support. Thank you so much for being
a part of our community!

Join us for an exciting Texas Is Ready Webinar Series: "Creating Safe
Spaces: Foundations for Teaching Sex Ed." This 5-SESSION SERIES will cover
five important topics: 1) Sex Ed 101, 2) Trauma Informed Framework, 3)
Inclusivity, 4) Remaining Values Neutral, and 5) Answering Challenging
Questions.

Together we’ll examine each topic in depth and provide participants with
tips during each session, on how to apply what they’ve learned, with the
people they serve.
