Young People are under more pressure than ever before. Contributing factors such as social media, porn, sex, relationship, and gender roles put a worrying amount of weight on adolescents.
Did you know?
- Teenagers are the most likely group to suffer from domestic abuse. The NSPCC found that a staggering 25% of girls and 18% of boys reported some form of physical partner abuse
- More people own a smartphone than a toothbrush. The youth market is the most saturated when it comes to smartphones: 85% of 18-24 year-olds have one making social media more accessible than ever before.
- 90% of 8-16 years have seen online pornography
- 15-year-olds in the UK were among the saddest and least satisfied with their lives in Europe
Under Pressure is a national training programme developed by Zero Tolerance with support from partners in YouthLink Scotland and Celcis.
The programme aims to support professionals working with young people to open discussions with them about some of the challenges and pressures they may be facing including: potential risks of grooming and sexual exploitation, negotiating online safety, engaging in healthy consent-based relationships, and dealing with the pressures to conform to idealised models of ‘how to be’ men and women. It also takes participants through an introduction to gender and gender-based abuse.
Trainees will receive access to Under Pressure training resources for use with young people.
