Yise Up - A Safe Relationships Program

Yise Up Safe Relationships is about promoting healthy relationships plus providing high school students with effective communication strategies which assist them to achieve safe and positive life experiences.

Yise Up workshops specifically address the issues that young people face throughout their formative years and equips them with understanding that will enable them to make informed decisions about present and future relationships.

Workshops are presented by trained YWCA NSW facilitators. Flexibility has been built into each module of the program in order to ensure that contect is culturally relevant and age appropriate.

Descriptions of our modules include:

Yise Up About Relationships & Safe Dating, aimed at young people as they are beginning to form intimate relationships and assists in providing skills to deal with problems within those relationships. Covering content as:

Cycle of violence
What is sexual assault?
"Date rape - what's that?"
