Description:

Today we are joined by Bridie Allan. 

Bridie has a Bachelor of Psychology, a Masters Degree in Mental Health and is about to complete her Masters in Sexology. 

Bridie has been working with adults and children in a sexual health/ sexual education space for many years now including working in a prison setting with child sex offenders, victims, perpetrators and youth offenders. 

She has also worked in community psychiatric care where sexual issues are prevalent and now works exclusively with children. 

Throughout this conversation Bridie uses her unique insight and experience to highlight the  importance of talking to children about sex, consent and their bodies. 

We discuss what these conversations should look like, who should be having them and how to ensure you are doing it a manner that is both positive and age appropriate. 

This episode is relevant to parents with children of all ages and stages and will allow you to feel more equipped and empowered when these conversations arise.
