Useful Links: Sexuality & Relationships
One of the four Preparing for Adulthood pathways focusses on Relationships - this includes family, friends and community, as well as sexual relationships. On this page we have provided a number of useful links to support young adults who are thinking about their sexuality, sexual identity, relationships and rights.
