You and Me Relationships Group
WWILD periodically runs time-limited relationship and sex education groups.
These groups run for approximately 10 weeks and are focused on building understanding and skills in relationships, which help in preventing sexual and domestic violence, and other types of exploitative relationships.
These groups run at the pace and needs of the individual group members.
Due to limited capacity, we only run a couple of these groups a year, but we encourage people or community groups to get in touch if they are interested in this group.
We also have developed a You and Me facilitator training workshop and accompanying manual. If you are interested in learning more, please get in touch with WWILD.
The group meets for two hours over ten weeks to talk about:
• Meeting new people
• Being a good friend
• Safe touch
• Saying “NO”
• Feeling good about yourself
• Dealing with problems and arguments
• What makes a ‘good’ and ‘bad’ relationship
When: TBA
Where: TBA
Time: Weekly for 10 weeks
There is no cost for people to attend this group as WWILD is a free service.
