Bullying

This suite of resources addresses many of the root causes of bullying – from a perpetrator’s background, through to dealing with stress and trauma. We invite all young people to understand where they fit into the bullying narrative, and what they can do to change that.

Digital Literacy

This series of lessons focuses on allowing students to engage critically with what they are seeing, sharing and participating in online – so that they can be given the agency to make healthy, safe choices within their chosen landscape.

Gender Stereotypes

This series of lessons looks to tackle gender stereotypes as one of the root causes of bullying, encouraging our young people to ditch the labels that hold them back, freeing them to be their own person, on their own terms.

Mental Health

This series of lessons is designed to equip young people with the skills and strategies to navigate the emotions that they experience, so that they can feel empowered when it comes to managing their emotional wellbeing.
