Relationships and Me Program
A Sexual Health Education Program for Students with Disability (Ages 14-18).
Delivered by a trusted, registered NDIS provider
Learning About Healthy Relationships, Your Rights and Making Safe Choices
Learning about relationships, personal safety and boundaries is an important part of growing up. For students with disability, this learning needs to be clear, practical and connected to everyday life—and it can be a sensitive topic for schools to deliver.
Available to high schools across the Geelong region, our Relationships and Me Program is a six week, school-based program that empowers students with disabilities aged 14-18 (with parent consent). It supports young people to learn about healthy relationships, sexuality, and personal boundaries so they have the knowledge and confidence to navigate relationships in everyday life.
The program is delivered by allied health professionals from Everyday Independence using clear, age-appropriate language tailored to individual needs, ensuring no one feels left behind.
We take the pressure off your team by delivering structured, supportive sessions that help students build the understanding and confidence they need to navigate healthy relationships, safety and wellbeing in everyday life.
Students learn in a safe, supportive environment where they can ask questions and build skills in a way that makes sense to them.
What Students Learn
The program runs for six weeks, including pre and post assessments, with short sessions that help participants stay focused and engaged. Topics covered include:
- Sexual health and wellbeing (including anatomy and sexual health education)
- Identity and inclusion
- Online safety
Why This Matters
In Australia, around 1 in 5 people with disability have experienced sexual violence since the age of 15.
Many experiences happen during adolescence, and not all are reported, meaning the true impact is often greater than what we see. At the same time, many young people don’t receive education that is tailored to how they learn or applied to real-life situations. This is where right education can make a real difference
By building understanding of relationships, boundaries and personal safety, schools can support students to:
- Recognise unsafe situations
- Communicate their needs
- Make more informed choices
- Build confidence and reduce vulnerability over time.
Who Delivers the Program
The Relationships and Me Program is delivered by qualified occupational therapists who have been selected to deliver the program because of their experience in for sexual health education, disability and inclusive communication, trauma-informed practice, safeguarding and risk reduction.
This ensures sessions are safe, evidence-based and tailored to your students.
