[I learned] how to say something positive about myself.
⎯⎯ A young person who attended a workshop
Let’s Talk Relationships workshops were developed with the expertise of nine care-experienced young people, aged 16-18, and ran by our Services team.
The aims of these workshops:
- Young people are better able to make informed, healthy choices about relationships – including what makes a healthy or an unhealthy relationship and where to go for advice, support and help.
- To empower young people by providing information and choices on what they can access to support them around relational issues.
- To look at the importance of a healthy relationship with ourselves.
Overall, we delivered 20 workshops to 104 young people, aged 15-18 years old. This page looks at the impact and reflections of these workshops.
