K.I.N.D. Programme
K.I.N.D. - KEY INFORMATION, NEEDS & DEVELOPMENT
Programme Overview
The KIND Programme is a 9-week course designed to support safe, healthy, and respectful conversations about relationships and sexuality. It can be delivered in two ways:
• Teenagers only – helping young people make sense of consent, peer pressure, and online influences.
• Adults only – guiding parents, teachers, and community leaders in how to support and model healthy behaviour.
This programme is delivered by a qualified Counsellor and Psychotherapist with advanced training in work with children and young people. It is usually delivered in groups, which allows for shared learning, discussion, and practice of skills. One-to-one delivery is also available where appropriate.
Why this Programme Matters
Conversations about sex, relationships, and behaviour can feel overwhelming—for young people, their families, and their communities. Without guidance, teenagers often turn to peers or the internet for answers, which can lead to confusion, pressure, or risk. Adults can also feel unsure about what to say, or how to say it.
The KIND Programme creates a safe, structured space where these issues can be addressed openly, with respect and empathy.
Topics Covered
The KIND Programme explores key areas of healthy development, including:
• Sexual health and education
• Consent and coercive control
• Respecting boundaries
• Empathy and understanding victim impact
• Problem-solving and communication skills
• Recognising “thinking errors” and harmful patterns
• Media literacy and the influence of pornography
• The rise of “dopamine culture” and online pressures
• Artificial intelligence and its role in shaping behaviour
How the Programme Works
• Format: 9 weekly sessions.
• For whom: Typically functioning adolescents and adults.
• Delivery: Primarily group-based, with an option for one-to-one sessions if required.
Group delivery offers opportunities for active listening, peer support, and skill practice. One-to-one delivery provides a private, focused approach for those who prefer it, or in situations where it may be more suitable.
