More about the toolkit
Creating safe conversations about relationships and sexuality
Talking about relationships and sexuality with children and young people is important, but not always easy. Many youth professionals feel they lack the tools or confidence to address these topics in an accessible, respectful and age-appropriate way. The Bodies, Boundaries & Relationships toolkit was developed to support youth professionals in creating safe spaces for dialogue around puberty, emotions, boundaries, relationships and sexual health.
Through playful methods and practical tools, the toolkit helps children and young people build knowledge, self-awareness and decision-making skills, while supporting healthier relationships and greater respect for themselves and others.
Our partners
The Bodies, Boundaries & Relationships toolkit was developed in collaboration with Sensoa and Pimento.
