Situation
Sexting is part of everyday life for almost half of teenagers and 6/10 young people say that pornography’s pervasiveness made growing up difficult. Too many young people still transition into adulthood with inaccurate or incomplete information, leaving them vulnerable. Currently young people aged 15 – 24 experience the highest rates of STIs in the UK. Preventative work is vital to ensure that young people are equipped with the information and skills needed to improve their health and wellbeing.
Solution
We support young people through our education delivery, training of external educators, and equipping of parents. Our interactive sessions with young people encourage critical thinking and empower them to make informed and considered decisions. To ensure more young people receive this high quality education we train & equip youth workers, teachers, churches & organisations in our Esteem programme. We also train parents so they can confidently talk to their children about relationships and sex
