"I highly recommend DJ's presentation. My teenage son and daughter attended his presentation about a month ago and are still commenting about it and sharing with me what they learned. It was fun and very informative at the same time. It has given them more freedom to talk to us about hard topics like pornography, sexuality etc.. It was a blessing for all of us to attend."
