Parent 2 Parent
The New England Adolescent Research Institute (NEARI) created the Parent 2 Parent website with the goal of reducing sexual violence through providing educational materials parents need to become advocates for their families and address both healthy sexual exploration and inappropriate or harmful sexual behaviors in children and teens. When NEARI closed it's doors on 10.1.19, this resource became a RALIANCE toolkit.
