Our ambition is for ALL young people to have safe, fulfilling and healthy relationships.

​​

To achieve this, we are committed to deliver transformative Heading for Healthy Relationships workshops to ALL Year 7 pupils in primary schools across Antrim and Newtownabbey from September 2025 to March 2026

Will your school join us?

​

Funded by Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough Council Ending Violence Against Women And Girls - Change Fund, the Heading for Healthy Relationships primary schools programme will equip children and young people with the knowledge and skills to have healthy, respectful relationships.

 

Facilitated by skilled Domestic Abuse Specialists for Children and Young People, Heading for Healthy Relationships explores the dynamics of healthy relationships, and will strengthen children's understanding of issues including domestic abuse and age-appropriate consent. 

 

• Increase understanding about domestic abuse  

• Challenge harmful attitudes and behaviours

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

• Empower young people to make informed choices and be safe

​​​​​

The Heading for Healthy Relationships programme will be available for ALL primary schools from September 2025 and session are available to BOOK NOW - at no cost.

 

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

​

​​Heading for Healthy Relationships addresses the critical need for preventative education in schools, aligned to the curriculum and will enable young people to recognise when a relationship has the potential to become abusive, challenge harmful attitudes and behaviours, make informed choices and be safe.

​​

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.
