About this Event
Know it, Name it is a 2-hour interactive workshop designed to help neurodivergent young people 12–15 (socially, developmentally, and/or intellectually) recognise healthy and unhealthy boundaries, understand the different types of abuse, and develop practical strategies to respond safely in friendships, dating, and online interactions.
Participants will explore:
- How to notice what it feels like when something isn’t right
- Different types of abuse (physical, emotional, sexual, digital, coercive)
- Body language, non-verbal cues, and emotional responses
- Strategies for saying no, stopping, slowing down, and asking for clarification
- How to reach out to trusted adults and support networks
⚠️ Trigger Warning
This workshop covers heavy topics including boundaries being crossed, abuse, and uncomfortable social or dating situations. It may be triggering for young people with a history of trauma. While the content can be challenging, it is presented in a safe, supportive, and empowering way, giving participants the knowledge and skills to protect themselves and seek help.
