Anchored in Respect: Sex & Ethics for Young People

This 2-day training prepares participants to deliver the Sex & Ethics for Young People (SEYP) program. SEYP covers evidence-based topics that address key issues young people face in diverse settings. The program uses a targeted primary prevention approach, helping participants develop their own ethical framework for relationships and sexuality while building essential skills.
A rights and strengths-based approach to young people's sexual development prioritises their autonomy, dignity, and wellbeing. Instead of focusing only on risk, it empowers them to make informed choices about their bodies and relationships.
