Overview

Youth Choices take a dynamic and empowering approach to the challenges facing young people, using the safe medium of theatre to explore complex social and mental health issues.

Our programs give students a ‘voice’ and teach them critical thinking skills, promote resilience, and help participants deal with topics such as bullying, violence, cyber safety, relationships, racism, substance abuse, and mental health.

Youth Choices Incursions

Our Youth Choices programs move beyond the classroom to tackle the real-world pressures facing today’s teenagers. Using interactive theatre-in-education  and digital media, we create a safe space for secondary students to explore complex social issues and practice making informed, positive life choices.
