Overview of Expecting More (RSHE Session)
Relationship, Sex, and Health Education (RSHE) is now a required part of education to help young people make informed choices about their well-being, and to build their self-awareness, confidence, and independence. It’s important for young people to understand key topics like consent, online relationships, intimacy, and sexual health, along with the challenges and risks involved.
Despite a significant reduction in teenage pregnancies over the past decade, it remains a relevant issue that needs continued attention. To address this, 2engage conducted a series of workshops and interviews with teenage parents from across Cheshire West and Chester. Using their lived experiences, we created ‘Expecting More’ – a compelling piece of theatre that captures the real stories, options, and challenges surrounding teenage pregnancy.
