About the Programme

This programme supports young women who may be finding things difficult at school, struggling with friendships, or feeling worried about risky situations. It gives them a trusted place to learn, share their feelings, and build the skills they need to live safer and healthier lives.

What the Programme Covers

Across the seven weeks, young women explore themes such as confidence, self‑esteem, healthy relationships, consent, body understanding, social media safety, and how to stay safe in their community.
Each session is simple, age‑appropriate, and includes discussions, creative activities, team tasks, and real‑life scenarios that help young women learn in a fun and comfortable way.

Session Overview

The programme begins with an introduction to identity, stereotypes, and empowerment.
Later sessions focus on building confidence, understanding online safety, learning about body changes and consent, spotting healthy and unhealthy relationships, and staying safe in everyday life.
The final week is a celebration and reflection session with creative activities and time to look back on what they have learned.

Programme Outcomes
