I like, like you: A healthy relationships program for secondary schools
Relationships influence us across our life span and play a crucial role in growth and development. Childhood and early adolescence represents a critical opportunity for prevention interventions and to promote healthy relationships.
Relationships Australia Victoria is pleased to provide ‘I like, like you’ (ILLY), an innovative early intervention and prevention program for year 7-10 students.
The program aims to address the underlying factors that contribute to violence against women, and promote healthy relationships and emotional health and wellbeing.
