Growing Matters is a conversation-based program that supports healthy relationship education by developing skills in communication, critical thinking, and collaborative problem solving.

It is a dynamic conversation that is led by curiosity, and delivered in socially, emotionally and culturally safe ways that remove shame and create connection.

Most significantly, it strengthens learners’ tolerance for discomfort in difficult conversations with others, their ability to regulate themselves and the people around them, and their capacity to find common ground when resolving differences. Language of consent and the practice of setting and receiving boundaries respectfully are woven through every interaction and conversation.

Conversations are contextualised and curated around evidence-based body literacy education on:

• hormones

• menstrual cycles

• safe sex practices

• reproductive systems

• drug and alcohol education

• porn literacy

• consent

• emotions

• health advocacy

Self Centre is a clay-based program that supports healthy relationship education by developing skills in interoception, self-regulation, and creative problem solving.

It is a safe tactile experience that simultaneously places the learner outside of their comfort zone to take risks that strengthen their confidence to make informed choices in strength-based, regulated ways.

Most significantly, the learning is facilitated in ways that build communication skills using language of consent. Conversations are curated in response to the dynamics of the individual with the group and their learning needs at the time.

Observations of body feedback will be connected to conversations around the following themes:

• Managing expectations (fear, judgement, comparison, shame)

• Processing emotions (grief, anger, joy)

• Agency and choices (reaction versus response)

Connected Collective is a professional development program that focuses learning around relational practice, collaborative problem solving practice, and reflective practice. It is grounded by the understanding that every person who interacts with a young person is providing relationship education, and that every person has a role to play in building a culture of collective health.

It is a program designed to build learners’ confidence and capacity to create a culture of healthy relationships by practicing the skills of healthy relationships. Most significantly, it uses pedagogies of discomfort and care to strengthen learners’ capacity to interrupt social and systemic cycles with the skills to hold complexity with curiosity.

Training programs are curated through explicit consultation around the learning goals and needs of the organisation and its practitioners. It may centre around program or curriculum development and skills training for people who work with young people, or as support for individuals in the community.
