Developing healthy, respectful relationships

With 1 in 4 Australian school children experiencing bullying every few weeks and domestic violence in Queensland on the rise – it’s more important now than ever to educate students to empower them to make safe choices.

In 2019, we surveyed 149 teachers across 73 Queensland primary schools to provide feedback on education needs in their schools:

• 90.2% of teachers said there was a strong or very strong need for resilience and social/emotional wellbeing
• 86.1% of teachers said there was a strong or very strong need for bullying and respectful relationships.

Our Talk About It program discusses many of these topics that help students across Queensland navigate puberty, sexual health and relationships. Although puberty can be a challenging time, when children know what to expect, it empowers their confidence and social and emotional wellbeing. 

We surveyed more than 250 Queensland teachers for our 2021 Teacher Feedback: Talk About It Program survey, here is what they had to say:

• 100% recommend their school re-book the Talk About It program
• 99.64% said the content of the program was relevant or highly relevant
• 97.02% said there was very significant or significant need for the Talk About It program at their school
