Resources for Parents

Caitlain's Resource List for Parents

I've compiled a list of sources of reliable, accurate and honest information about a variety of topics related to sexuality and sexual health and placed them here for your reference. I have personally inspected and verified these sites and use them for my own research, so I am confident of their suitability.

If you know of a site that you believe would make a good addition to this list, please feel free to contact me at This email address is being protected from spam bots, you need Javascript enabled to view it . I will not put anything on this list that is not specifically dedicated to legitimate sex education or a related field.

NOTE: You'll notice that the federal Centers for Disease Control (CDC) is not referenced here. Under the current administration, the nation's premier health information provider has been politicized and it is no longer possible to rely on the CDC for wholly accurate, unbiased information. Therefore, I have elected not to use them as reference material or recommend them except as a last resort. If/When ti can be demonstrated that they no longer infuse a political bent into the material and science they produce, I will add them to this list as appropriate.
