Nest’s Healthy Relationships programme is for everyone! Run it in your community, your youth group, at school, at work or one to one. The information & delivery (which can include Teen Talks© / Sensitive Subjects© material as appropriate) is designed to prevent sexual violence via education, health promotion and prevention activities.
Nest works closely with work places, schools, communities, clubs, communities of special character and the disability sector to run programmes suitable and accessible to all. We believe that education is the best strategy to prevent sexual violence in our communities.
Nest’s Healthy Relationships programme was developed by experts in consultation with community groups of all ages, young people and people with disabilities (& their supporters) who were asked what they want to talk about and learn, with the aim of preventing sexual violence in communities.

Why?
Research shows:
15-24 year olds are the group most at risk from violence by current and ex-partners.
1 in 5 female and 1 in 10 male secondary school students report unwanted sexual contact or being made to do unwanted sexual things. 37% describe it as severe and 57% tell no-one.
Working with young people is one of the most effective ways of preventing sexual and dating violence.
