    • Standing Out – LGBTQ Gender Diversity Programs

    Everyone else seems to know exactly who they are – so confident in their identities. But Jez isn’t so sure. There is a part of him that he doesn’t feel comfortable acknowledging – even to his family and best friends.

    Using interactive Forum Theatre, students are encouraged to examine the impact of bullying on youth mental health, explore how they can be supportive to their peers and celebrate diversity.

    Support inclusion with Constable Care’s LGBTQ programs for youth. Our school based gender diversity program sessions address bullying and promote understanding of gender diversity in Perth schools.

    Why choose our Youth Choices programs

    In the high-pressure world of secondary school, traditional ‘instruction’ rarely leads to behavioural change. Our Youth Choices suite uses ‘Forum Theatre’ – an evidence-based methodology where students become active participants in the narrative. By allowing teens to stop the action and trial different solutions to issues like consent, substance use, and mental health, we provide a rehearsal space for life. This ‘theatre of the oppressed’ style engagement is proven to increase retention and empower students to find their own voice.

    We don’t shy away from the hard conversations. Our programs are developed in consultation with subject matter experts and Western Australian youth to ensure the scenarios reflect the actual lived experiences of today’s teenagers. Choosing Youth Choices means providing your school with a high-impact, peer-led experience that challenges prejudices, builds emotional intelligence, and equips young adults with the ethical framework to navigate adulthood safely.
