Dr. Sutherland will speak on Teen Sexuality

Dr. Katherine Sutherland of WPMG will be giving a free talk entitled “Teen Sexuality — Everything a Parent Does NOT Want to Know” on 2/2/10 from 7 to 8:30 pm at the beautiful new El Camino Hospital in Mt. View in Conference Room A/B on the lower level. Space is limited. To reserve a seat RSVP to education@doctorcarlton.com

Teens are undergoing changes in their bodies, hormones, and emotions. With this comes strong and
sometimes confusing sexual feelings. Generally the bodies mature more quickly than the judgment. And yet sexuality is a topic in which privacy is critically important and so parents often find it difficult to know what their child is thinking or doing. Come and learn the reality of sexuality in this age group and in our community. Are you sending the right messages? Asking the right questions? What are the risks? STDs? Pregnancy? Sexting? Date rape? Gay and bisexual relations? There will be adequate time for questions and interaction.

This program is part of a free educational program for parents of teens and young adults sponsored by Dr. Pamela Carlton, a specialist in adolescent medicine and eating disorders. This monthly lecture series focuses on topics around nutrition, exercise and the psychological health of teens and
young adults. To learn more about the program and view upcoming topics, go to www.doctorcarlton.com.
