WEEO WISER workshops

• The WEEO WISER workshop program runs for 5 double-period sessions
  (about 2-hours each) run over 5 weeks.
• It is a prevention program which aims to provide young women with interactive education workshops about safe + equal relationships and abuse + violence.
• The workshop program is available for all girls in year 9 in high schools in the Liverpool area. It’s not a therapeutic group targeting young women who are experiencing violence in relationships or are particularly at risk.
• 10-15 young women from year 9 participate in each workshop program. Sometimes more than one program runs at a high school at a time.
• Workshops are facilitated by a pairs of paid peer educators. This diverse group of local young women are trained to run the program.
  They are supported in their role by experienced workers in the field
  (support people).
