Doing ‘IT‘
Doing ‘IT‘. A podcast from the Sexual Health Victoria Schools Education Team.
Listen to the experts as we discuss all things Relationships and Sexuality education. Including: bodies; growing up; being safe; puberty; sex; consent; identity; relationships; sexuality & sexual health.
We know some parents / carers find it difficult to have conversations about these topics with the young people in their lives. Having open honest communication is going to empower young people to look after themselves in life and relationships.
Doing ‘IT’ will provide tips and resources to help parents / carers and teachers in starting or continuing these conversations.
