TRAINING - SOLD OUT Under Pressure - Preventing Abuse and Exploitation in Teen Relationships
The Under Pressure training programme aims to support professionals working with young people to open discussions with them about some of the challenges and pressures they may be facing. Those challenges include risks of grooming and sexual exploitation, negotiating online safety, engaging in healthy consent-based relationships, and dealing with the pressures to conform to idealised models of ‘how to be’ men and women.
26th Jan , 2nd Feb and 3rd Mar - 12 noon - 1.30pmThese interactive, discursive sessions will be a space to learn, share your experiences and connect with other practitioners wishing to prevent gender based violence and abuse in their communities.
In these lunchtime discussion sessions, we’ll explore in more detail some emerging issues raised during our time delivering Under Pressure.
