Respectful Relationships Education Program
We acknowledge that all people have relationships, and that each person’s experience is unique. The Rize Above Respectful Relationships Program contains gamified experiences. The course has been designed with the support and input from the community and young people.
Rize Above team delivers the 8 session Respectful Relationships Education Program at schools. The program is designed to disrupt the drivers of violence to lower the probability of violence against women. The program explores the nature of relationships, the things that work well and what to do when they aren’t working so well.
The process:
- Identifies and challenges the condoning of violence against women
- Fosters positive personal identities and challenges rigid gender stereotypes and roles
- Strengthens positive, equal and respectful relationships
- Promotes and normalises gender equality.
