Happy November!

This month, Texas Is Ready is equipping families and communities with the information and resources necessary to empower themselves to have those "Key Conversations" with the young people in their lives. 

Informed parents and caretakers of young people are better able to partner with and support schools as they implement sexual health education. 

We encourage you to preview "Key Conversations," an interactive program that supports parents in talking with their kids about healthy relationships and sexual health on November 10th, and also to invite the families that you serve to an actual implementation of the program on November 14th.

November 10, 12 PM - 1 PM: Preview: Key Conversations (overview of program for schools and administrators)

November 14, 6 PM - 7:30 PM: Key Conversations (implementation of program for parents, caregivers, and staff)

*You do not have to be a member of the Community of Practice to attend the training sessions.*

New Parent Resources

The Texas Is Ready website has been updated with new information for parents and caretakers. Check out the new resources here.

Did you hear the news? We have merged!

The Texas Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy (statewide), Ntarupt | North Texas Alliance to Reduce Unintended Pregnancy in Teens (Dallas), and Healthy Futures of Texas (San Antonio) have merged to improve the well-being of young Texans through equitable access to sexual health education and resources.

The newly formed organization will move forward under the name Healthy Futures of Texas to close gaps in statewide sexual health education and resources affecting young Texans.

We will continue to provide the same local services while supporting a larger statewide strategy. We believe that the youth of Texas deserve the resources and agency to realize their full potentials.
