The Heading for Healthy Relationships schools programme explores the dynamics of healthy relationships, and will strengthen young people's understanding of issues including domestic abuse and consent. ​​​​​​

​​​

Facilitated by skilled Domestic Abuse Specialists, Heading for Healthy Relationships will equip young people with the knowledge and skills to have healthy, respectful relationships.  

​​​​​​​​​​​

• Increasing understanding about domestic abuse  

• Challenging harmful attitudes and behaviours

• Enabling young people to recognise when a relationship has the potential to become abusive​​​​​​​​​​​​

• Empowering young people to make informed choices and be safe

​

Sessions can be delivered in a classroom setting (or larger groups) and each session will last 50 mins to 1 hour.  

​​​​​​​

We are committed to delivering Heading for Healthy Relationships to ALL post-primary schools across Antrim, Ballymena, Carrickfergus, Larne and Newtownabbey.

​​​​​Heading for Healthy Relationships addresses the critical need for preventative education in schools, aligned to the curriculum, and has been developed with young people based on their experiences of the issues faced.

​​

The SAY Social Action Youth website www.sayni.org.uk created by young people will provide a vital on-line educational resource for ALL schools participating in the Heading for Healthy Relationships programme.

​​​​

The programme will equip schools to lead the way and create change to End Violence Against Women and Girls, ensuring all young people know any type of violence, abuse or harm in their relationships is never acceptable.”​​​
