A FAMILY PLANNING EXPERT SPEAKS OUT - Herbert W Armstrong - August 1977

Herbert W Armstrong

The Plain Truth talked to Elizabeth B. Calleton, associate director of Pasadena Planned Parenthood. She is currently involved in educating both children and adults, lecturing and presenting material on health and family planning to high school classes and other interested groups. PLAIN TRUTH: We understand you have a sex-education program for parents. CALLETON: Yes, we get a lot of calls for information on how parents can work with their kids. Only one out of five kids gets any kind of family life education in schools, and since schools don't necessarily seem to be moving in the direction of more programs, I think parents are particularly concerned that they be able to provide that education at home. We try to run two 'Or three sessions of five- or six-class courses a year without tuition. We've been fortunate to get a teacher who is an expert in family communications, so that in addition to information, parents get a lot of techniques they can use to initiate discussion with their families. It's been a very successful program. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
