Lets talk about sex.

FMC to Launch Web Series on Sex Education for Foster Youth On Tuesday, May 14th, Fostering Media Connections will host a launch party for its new web series entitled, "Let's Talk About Sex, With Foster Youth." According to Ryann Blackshere, a journalist with Fostering Media Connections, the purpose of the series is to address the current gap in information about sexual development and reproductive health among foster youth.

Recently, the importance of sex education among foster youth has received attention in the media. Additionally, Senator Leland Yee has introduced legislation which would require the child welfare system to ensure all youth in foster care receive information about sexual development and reproductive health. According to Blackshere, the web series would be easy way to bring this essential information to youth in foster care. Each episode consists of interviews with foster youth, their parents and experts on a range of topics covering sexual health, family planning and the psychological issues associated with sexuality.

Fostering Media Connections will screen its first episode on Tuesday, May 14th at the New Parkway Theater in Oakland at 6:00, followed by a panel discussion. According to Blackshere, the event is a good one for both youth and adults and is free of charge. For more information
