Planned Parenthood

Between Us is an innovative program offered by Planned Parenthood of Metropolitan Washington, DC, Inc., designed to transform the often daunting talk about puberty into a fun and engaging experience for mothers and daughters. These two-hour workshops encourage open communication surrounding reproductive health, relationships, and personal growth. During the event, participants are divided into groups to explore various topics with trained health educators. The workshops culminate in a collaborative project aimed at developing actionable steps for ongoing conversations at home.

By providing a safe and supportive environment, Between Us promotes meaningful discussions and allows pre-teens to anonymously ask their most pressing questions. Participants leave the workshop equipped with memorable takeaways and a clear plan to foster healthier communication about these important subjects. With a minimum of 10 mother-daughter pairs required, these workshops are not only educational but also create lasting memories for families striving to navigate the challenges of growing up together.
