Kris Carlson: Can we talk about sex?

Published: April 26, 2021, 8:29 p.m.

Kris Carlson joins me for a frank discussion on sex. Has your child ever been asked to send nudes? Did your mom assign cutesy names to your body parts? Do you wince at the idea of speaking to your kids about sex? As a social worker, healthy sexual advocate and the co-chair of a local coalition to end human trafficking, Kris brings her wit and insight to ask the question: Can we talk about sex? We chat about the luring and recruitment of young people into a world where they're trading sex for a benefit, and what it means to normalize and prioritize healthy conversations on sexuality. This episode will be especially meaningful for Gen-X women, moms, and anyone who feels they have a social responsibility to protect our young people.  Kris is a Youth & Transition Social Worker, and the Co-Chair of the Thunder Bay Coalition to End Human Trafficking. Sex Trafficking happens in our own backyard, with social media playing a key role in the luring and recruitment of kids who are on average 13-years-old.
