SCHOOL PROGRAMS
Love Bites is a well-established Respectful Relationships Education Program created by the National Association for Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect (NAPCAN) for young people aged 11-17 years that has been facilitated in schools and Alternate Learning Environments across Australia since 2004, and on the Central Coast since 2008.
The programs are scaffolded from year 7 to year 10 and create a suite of Respectful Relationships Programs that build upon each other, with our senior year 10 program the most popular choice. Each of our programs are available as a singular full day program that can run across an entire year group, or available as multisession run over 8 workshops.
All of our Love Bites programs are available at no cost to schools and community organisations and you are encouraged to book for as many year groups as align with your school's needs.
Love Bites has also been adapted so it can be delivered in out-of-school settings, such as alternative school programs, school disability support units, Juvenile Justice programs and youth holiday programs. The program can also be tailored to suit the needs of a particular school or cohort.
