What is it all about?
A suite of early intervention and prevention services and group programmes for all ages up to 25 years, advice, information and guidance to enable professionals training for practitioners working with children and young people. The STAR Prevention Programme is designed to be young person led and promote group discussions over the course of eight one-hour sessions.
The topics covered will enable young people to recognise early warning signs and dangers of unhealthy relationships and provide the opportunity to discuss how consent, social media and society inform our relationships. The Programme encourages and empowers young people to make informed choices and know where to go for help and support.
The STAR Prevention facilitator training course is aimed at practitioners who work with Children and Young People. On completing the facilitator training, learners will be able to confidently deliver Prevention sessions directly to children and young people and engage in discussions around the topics included. Resource packs are also available in English and Welsh to help
facilitate the sessions and include videos, posers, and group activities to reinforce the core messages for each session.
Duration:
Each programme requires practitioners to attend four half-days day of training.
