Risk and Resilience Programme

The Risk and Resilience programme, delivered by METRO Charity, works with young people aged 13-19 (up to 25 with SEND), and focuses on building self-esteem, critical thinking, and emotional literacy, as well as practical knowledge and skills, around sex and relationships.

The key topic areas include sexual health and wellbeing, sexuality, consent, boundaries, gender roles and conflict resolution. Sessions are user-led and so vary for each individual case. The programme can be delivered on either a one-to-one or small group basis.

Our one-to-one work is delivered either in person (in a range of locations) or remotely. Sessions typically run weekly for a period of 6-8 weeks. Group sessions are conversation-based for groups of up to 10 young people.

The service takes a holistic view of sex and relationships education. Our programme is targeted at all genders and sexualities and is tailored to suit this. Young people can be referred using the below form. If you are a referring somebody under 16, you may refer them using the Fraser Guidelines without obtaining parental consent where it cannot be gained.
