Talking to young people about puberty, relationships and sexuality is a challenging and rewarding task.

Teachers, nurses and youth workers often feel the responsibility of addressing this important work, but lack confidence or resources to do it effectively. SHFPACT provides nationally accredited professional development opportunities in Canberra to make these conversations easier.
