Healthy Relationships workshops

The Healthy Relationships workshops are part of Saoirse’s vital early intervention, prevention and awareness work, and the ultimate goal is to stop dating violence before it starts.

Dating violence often starts with teasing and name-calling but can quickly progress to coercive control, threats, stalking and physical assaults. These behaviours can be seen as part of a ‘normal’ relationship.

What do Healthy Relationships workshops cover?

The workshop sessions are designed for young people aged 13+ and can be facilitated in schools, youth or community groups. The workshop explores domestic violence and abuse through the context of ‘healthy’ versus potentially ‘unhealthy’ relationships.
During the session, the young people learn the prevalence of domestic violence and abuse in society and among their peers. They also learn about the different types of abuse, what coercive control looks like in a teen relationship, and digital abuse in relationships.
We also discuss how to help a friend and what to do if they think they are in an unhealthy or abusive relationship.
We provide support details for organisations that can help them with various issues, including domestic violence and abuse.
The sessions encourage youth participation and questions through anonymous, interactive methods.
