Heading for Healthy Relationships

​​​​​​

Our ambition is for ALL young people to have safe, fulfilling, and healthy relationships.

​​

To achieve this, we are committed to deliver transformative Heading for Healthy Relationships workshops to 3,500 Year-11 pupils in ALL post-primary schools across our area over the next six months.

​

Will your school join us?

​​​​​

The Heading for Healthy Relationships schools programme explores the dynamics of healthy relationships, and will strengthen young people's understanding of issues including domestic abuse and consent. ​​​​​​

​​​

Sponsored by Abbey Centre, Heading for Healthy Relationships workshops will equip young people with the knowledge and skills to have healthy, respectful relationships.  

​​​

Workshops will be delivered over three sessions focusing on 1. Healthy Relationships, 2. Domestic Abuse, and 3. Consent.

​​

Facilitated by Domestic Abuse Specialists, skilled practitioners working with young people, workshops will:

​​​​​​​​​​​

• Increase understanding about domestic abuse  

• Challenge harmful attitudes and behaviours

• Enable young people to recognise when a relationship has the potential to become abusive​​​​​​​​​​​​

• Empower young people to make informed choices and be safe

​​​​​​​

We are committed to delivering Heading for Healthy Relationships to ALL post-primary schools across Antrim, Ballymena, Carrickfergus, Larne and Newtownabbey.  

​​​​​​​

​​​​​Heading for Healthy Relationships addresses the critical need for preventative education in schools, aligned to the curriculum, and has been developed with young people based on their experiences of the issues faced.

​​

The SAY Social Action Youth website www.sayni.org.uk created by young people will provide a vital on-line educational resource for ALL schools participating in the Heading for Healthy Relationships programme.

​​​​

The programme will equip schools to lead the way and create change to End Violence Against Women and Girls, ensuring all young people know any type of violence, abuse or harm in their relationships is never acceptable.”​

​​

To further support participants, each student will receive a free Costa, Abbey Centre voucher.
