Overview
Building on the wisdom from her book Talking with Your Teen About Sex, Dr. Sadusky will be directly speaking to Catholic ministry leaders about how these critical conversations play out in a pastoral space with young people. This will benefit anyone who works with teenagers in the Church: Catholic school teachers, youth ministers, DREs, volunteers, catechists, and clergy alike.
Lunch and light refreshments are included.
This event will be filmed and later made available on YDisciple.tv. By attending this event, you agree to be a part of a live studio audience.
