What Do
you Really know? About S.E.X & What Do you Really
think? about Relationships
This double set of cards offers an
opportunity to encourage full and frank discussion around the whole issue of
s.e.x. & relationships.
They give young people a chance to
explore their own beliefs and to examine whether these beliefs are actually
beneficial to their emotional and mental health or whether they wish to amend
them to fit a more healthy approach.
What Do you Really think?
about Relationships: Stable relationships are the bedrock of society: children
and young people thrive in them; adult mental health is to a very large degree,
dependent upon them. However, many people form their ideas of relationships from
the media: soaps; films; magazines. The ‘celebrity culture’ is seen to be the
desirable model of living. As we all know, this can lead to a distorted view of
what constitutes a real and lasting relationship. However, spending time in
discussion with young people will prove that they have more realistic ideas, if
only they have an opportunity to express and develop them.
What Do you Really know? About
S.E.X: Each
card of which displays one statement, many of which have actually been claimed
by students during S&R lessons, and reveal that, although young people today
have far greater access to information and knowledge than previous generations,
that knowledge can be frighteningly patchy or based on myths passed on by
friends. Some cards have been
designed to be deliberately ambiguous to show the importance of identifying
exactly what is meant as many wrong beliefs develop because students
misunderstand what they are told.
There are 6
different sections, including: Contraception ▪ Pregnancy: ▪ STIs ▪ The Internet
▪ P.o.r.n.
The cards can be used in small groups, in large
groups, or with individuals struggling with relationship issues. They are
recommended for use in schools, colleges and in mental health
situations.
Includes two sets, over 82 cards and
comprehensive notes.
