Testimonials
Your presentation to all, parents and kids, was very clear. The kids got it and the parents learned as well. My child understands that the channels of communication are open . . . mission accomplished.

The benefits of TheTalk are all positive. Our students always walk away from the two-hour session with a greater understanding of their own bodies and the changes they and their peers are going through. Jill emphasizes respect and healthy communication and encourages students to use their parents as their first resource. The program offers parents a great starting point for discussions they may have found difficult to initiate on their own
Tom Spence, Head of Lower School, St. Mary’s School
Our school has partnered with Jill Halbert and TheTalk since we opened, and I can confidently say Jill is a true expert at engaging teens in the important—and often tricky—topic of sex education. Students consistently find her knowledgeable and approachable, creating an environment where they feel safe asking honest questions. Jill is also highly transparent, providing clear curriculum outlines to faculty and parents. I highly recommend bringing TheTalk to your school, group, or community—Jill’s work is invaluable to our students, families, and school community.

Our session with Jill was a turning point. She helped us see what was pulling us apart and gave us a real plan to fix it. We’re way more connected now and our relationship is so much stronger.

I wasn’t aware of the sexual changes that come with getting older. Jill helped me understand that changes are normal and offered guidance on navigating them. I was nervous to open up, but Jill offered a comfortable, non-judgmental space for discussion. I’m in a better place because of it.

Great class! My son and I loved it. We have always had open discussions about “the birds and the bees” but this took it to a much higher level.

TheTalk helps open the lines of communication so my son knows we know about the same topics. I think it is geared perfectly to the current topics that are the issues they will deal with. The class was great. My son didn’t want it to end.

TheTalk made my daughter feel comfortable about discussing potentially embarrassing issues with me. It was amazing, direct and very informative. I will recommend this program to many. Thanks so much!

I loved the activities we did as a group and how we went over the info with our parents. My favorite part was talking to my mom about the stuff that I used to be afraid to talk about.
