STARS – Laverton

STARS is a new course to help build knowledge, skills and confidence to Start Talking About Relationships and Sexual Health
with young Aboriginal People.
• Do you think it’s important for young people to have good information around their relationships and sexual health?
• Does your role give you the chance to yarn with young people?
• Do you need more knowledge and confidence to have these conversations?
