Healthy Relationships Series

The Healthy Relationships Series is designed to empower participants with the tools and insights needed to foster and maintain positive, fulfilling relationships. Across multiple sessions, we’ll cover key topics like communication, healthy boundaries, navigating breakups, and exploring the importance of consent in all relationships.

Healthy Relationships (1-2 hours)

In Healthy Relationships, participants explore strategies for identifying and navigating challenging relationships, positive communication, and personal preferences in relationships. We also discuss resources to support peers in abusive relationships.

Healthy Boundaries & Breakups (1-2 hours)

The “Healthy Boundaries and Breakups” workshop helps participants aged 12-18 navigate relationships and breakups with minimal pain by teaching them to set and maintain boundaries, respect each other’s feelings, and take responsibility for their actions. While it doesn’t guarantee lasting friend, it promotes personal growth and well-being through healthy breakup practices.  

Exploring Consent (1-2 hours)

This workshop explores consent beyond the “no means no” conversation through discussions about bodily autonomy, boundaries. It also encourages participants to reflect on their own needs and preferences and how to respect those of others.

Mental Wellness Series

The Mental Wellness Series offers workshops that focus on making healthier choices around substance use and mental wellbeing. This series encourages safe, informed decisions while addressing common myths about substances. Participants also explore how life events impact mental health and learn practical strategies to improve and maintain their wellbeing. More workshops are currently being developed to further support mental wellness.

Safer Partying (1-2 hours)

Youth encounter substance use on a regular basis, either directly or indirectly. This workshop takes a harm-reduction approach to exploring substance use, how to use substances responsibly, and evaluate participants own perceptions and misconceptions about substances.

Healthy Minds (1-2 hours)

In this workshop, participants explore their perceptions about what mental wellbeing is and the factors that can impact it.  We explore the idea that, just like our physical wellbeing, we all experience varying levels of mental wellbeing depending on what is going on in our lives, as well as strategies for improving and maintaining our mental wellbeing.

Advocacy Series

The Advocacy Series offers workshops that empower individuals to take action for equity and social change. Participants will explore issues like bullying and cyberbullying in online spaces, as well as dive into concepts like privilege, discrimination, and how to support marginalized communities. These sessions foster meaningful conversations and encourage participants to become advocates for justice and inclusivity.

Equity & Allyship (1-2 hours)

This interactive workshop invites participants to explore and challenge stereotypes and biases through personal inquiry and group activities. We’ll delve into the concepts of privilege, prejudice, discrimination, and oppression, beginning with an examination of the stereotypes we encounter and the biases we each hold. Through collaborative discussion and hands-on activities, we’ll explore how discrimination and oppression are linked to these biases.

Once we’ve established a shared understanding of these concepts, we’ll turn our focus to the idea of privilege—how the various identities we hold can either grant or limit our privilege in different contexts.

From this foundation, we will shift to the practice of Allyship, specifically in relation to marginalized communities facing discrimination and oppression. Using real-life examples participants may encounter, we will engage in discussions on what it means to act in Allyship and how to apply these principles in different situations.

Please note that this workshop can be challenging, and participants are welcome to opt out of specific activities. Our goal is to foster a safe, supportive environment where everyone feels comfortable learning about diversity and discovering new ways to work toward solidarity and justice. This workshop aims to introduce key concepts of equity and allyship, serving as a stepping stone for further research and exploration.

Power to Prevent (1-2 hours)

This workshop delves into the issues of bullying and cyberbullying, with a focus on staying safer in online spaces, particularly on social media. We’ll discuss key topics such as cyberbullying, online scams, catfishing, and online dating, while also exploring the ways we can all contribute to preventing bullying and fostering a safer digital environment.

Right to be Heard (1-2 hours)

Youth have the right to be heard, participate, and share their opinions. This workshop focuses on the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC), with a particular emphasis on the Right to Be Heard. Participants will explore the significance of engaging in their communities and learn how to become effective advocates for themselves and others. Through interactive discussions, we’ll highlight ways youth can amplify their voices and make a positive impact in their communities.

Through a variety of workshops, participants explore key topics such as leadership styles, career readiness, and the skills needed to lead or develop youth-focused programming. The series is structured to help individuals build confidence, become effective advocates for themselves and others, and prepare for real-world challenges in both professional and community settings. Each session provides hands-on learning opportunities and practical tools to foster growth, enhance communication, and build leadership capacity in diverse contexts.
