Talking About Sex, Bodies & Consent with Dr Melissa Kang & Yumi Stynes

Sit down with Maddy and Winnie as they chat with Dr Melissa Kang and Yumi Stynes all about how we can have conversations about sex, bodies and consent with confidence and care while centering the power of young people's voices.

As co-authors of the award-winning ‘Welcome-To’ book series, Melissa and Yumi draw on their work across media, medicine and education to share why accessible, inclusive relationships and comprehensive sexuality education matters. Together, they give insight into the conception of the ‘Welcome-To’ series and how this evidence-based resource filled a gap and created a safe and trustworthy space for learning.

Listen as Melissa and Yumi reflect on their own experiences, and highlight how honest, curiosity-driven conversations can build trust, reduce shame, and support young people to feel informed, empowered, and connected.
