Frequently asked questions

1. How long do the workshops run for?

Our motivational speakers talk for one hour.

2. Do the facilitators have Working with Children Checks?

Yes all our Life Lessons facilitators have undergone specific training to provide life skills for kids and their parents through comprehensive programs based on current trends and statistics.

They all have degrees in relevant disciplines such as Education, Psychology, Social Work and Community Welfare and they all work or have worked within these specialist areas.

Life Lessons facilitators meet all the required criteria for working with children and have been selected for their appropriate qualifications, knowledge, presentation skills, group experience and ability to engage and connect with young people and provide life skills for kids.

3. What do you do in the workshops?

We take a harm reduction approach in our workshops, which means that yes, many teenagers by their nature, will want push the boundaries. We believe that by educating them about risky situations and possible outcomes, they will be encouraged to make informed choices.

The students will be actively engaged through group work, scenarios, role plays, games and various other activities. Please contact Gitta Johnston on 0450 930 200 for more information.
