The Learning Experience

Coaching sessions will be conducted virtually via Zoom. Sessions are typically one hour long and can be conducted individually or in small groups of 2-5 individuals within the same age range or developmental level.

Sessions are also available for young adults, parents, families, and professionals.

Sessions are designed to build upon each other, providing a comprehensive learning experience. Over multiple sessions, folks have the opportunity to develop a comfortable and trusting relationship with Claire, which is vital for open and honest communication about sensitive topics. Therefore, a minimum of five sessions are required

How to Tell Your Child They're Starting Sessions

with RAISE Coaching

Deciding to bring in support for your child's sex education is a meaningful step — and one of the most common questions parents ask is: "How do I actually tell my kid?" The way you frame this conversation matters. When the introduction is warm, matter-of-fact, and free of shame, it sets the tone for everything that follows. Your child will take their cues from you. If you approach it as normal and even exciting, they are much more likely to feel that way too. Below are a few sample scripts to help you get started. You know your child best, so feel free to adapt the language to fit their personality and your family's style.

For Tweens (Ages 10–12)

"Hey, I want to tell you about something I set up for you. There's someone I'd like you to meet — her name is Claire, and she works with kids your age on things like how your body works, puberty, relationships, and staying safe. A lot of the stuff that comes up as you get older that can feel kind of awkward to talk about — she makes it really easy and comfortable to discuss. You'll meet with her one on one over Zoom, kind of like a class but way more relaxed. I just want to make sure you have someone great to learn from and to ask questions to, because these things are important and you deserve good information. How does that sound?"

A few notes for this age group:

  • Tweens often respond well to knowing they are not in trouble and that this is something you are doing for them, not to them.

  • If your child seems hesitant, you might add: "You're not going to be put on the spot. Claire will go at your pace, and you can always tell me if something feels uncomfortable."

  • Avoid framing it as "the talk" — that can create unnecessary anxiety. Keep it casual.

For Teens (Ages 13–18)

"I wanted to give you a heads up about something. I connected with a sex educator named Claire — she works with teenagers on things like anatomy, consent, relationships, sexual health, and identity. I set up some sessions with her for you. I know some of this stuff might feel awkward to talk about with me, and that's honestly fine — that's part of why I thought having someone whose whole job is this, someone who is not your parent, could be really valuable. She's not there to lecture you. It's more of a conversation, and you can bring whatever questions you actually have. I just want to make sure you have access to real, accurate information from someone you can talk to openly."

A few notes for this age group:

  • Teens tend to respond better when they feel respected rather than managed. Acknowledging that talking to a parent can feel awkward validates their experience and lowers defensiveness.

  • If your teen pushes back, try: "I'm not doing this because I think something is wrong. I'm doing it because I think you deserve good information and a space that's just for you."

  • You do not need to share every topic in advance. Let Claire introduce the curriculum in her own way during the intro session.

  • If your teen identifies as LGBTQ+ or is exploring their identity, you might add: "Claire works with all kinds of teenagers and is really thoughtful about making sure everyone feels included, whatever their identity or experience."
