Under Pressure Training

It’s important we support young people to have healthy, fulfilling relationships, the confidence to set their own boundaries, and the freedom to be who they are.  

As young people experience pressures around sex, relationships and gender, youth workers, teachers, and other practitioners are in a key position to inform, support, and empower young people. 

But it can be hard to have these conversations. 

Our Under Pressure training will give you the confidence to talk to young people about these serious and sensitive subjects, from self-generated intimate images to incels – and it’s free! 

 

Under Pressure for Practitioners 

We deliver our core Under Pressure training for practitioners online regularly throughout the year.  

The session is 2.5 hours, delivered in a group max of 20.

You will access pre-reading materials in advance of the session. The session involves a presentation delivered by well informed and experienced trainers as well as activities and opportunities for discussion. 

The session covers a range of topics that relate to the pressures young people are facing today, including: 

• Gender stereotypes 

• Surveillance culture 

• Pornography   

• Incel culture and harmful masculinity  

• Who is at risk of abuse/exploitation?  

After the session, you gain access to the Under Pressure KnowledgeHub where you can access practical tools to support your work with young people.  

Book on to our upcoming courses via Eventbrite, make sure to follow us to hear about new dates! 

 

Under Pressure Workshops 

Sometimes practitioners want to focus on a specific pressure facing young people, such as misogyny.  

These workshops allow for Zero Tolerance to share our expert insight on a topic and group discussion on the best way to support young people in this area. 

We deliver workshops online throughout the year. Book on to our upcoming workshops via Eventbrite and follow us to hear about new dates!
