Overview
|
WellStop is increasingly moving into providing prevention services.
While the work we do in the harmful sexual behaviour area is preventative, we recognise that this alone will not change the high rates of sexual abuse in this country. |
Most of our services are covered by contracts. Where contract places are not available, or clients do not meet criteria for contracts, we can negotiate fee for service on occasion.

RespectEd Aotearoa provide the ACC Mates and Dates programme in lower North Island regions. WellStop and RespectEd Aotearoa have formed a close relationship over many years.
What is Mates and Dates?
|
Mates & Dates is a multi-year programme that is taught to years 9-13 in one 50-minute session each week for five weeks.
It supports the four underlying and interdependent concepts at the heart of the Health and Physical Education Learning area, targeted at levels 4-8 of The New Zealand Curriculum. |
Mates & Dates aims to teach young people how to:
- Have healthy relationships based on respect, negotiation and consent
- Identify inappropriate behaviour
- Get help if they, or someone they know, are in an unhealthy relationship
- Safely intervene in situations that could lead to harm.
Mates & Dates is a strengths-based programme that believes all young people are able act with respect towards their mates, dates, and family in all interactions.
Each year’s content is appropriate for that age group and is taught by male and female facilitators.
