YEP can provide presentations and workshops to the youth sector, or those supporting young people for FREE across Western Australia, thanks to our funding from the Department of Health’s SHBBV Program. We also have some capacity to deliver other fee-for-service trainings.
Workshops and presentations are currently preferred to be delivered online, due to COVID-19, but face-to-face sessions are available on a case by case basis.
The Youth Educating Peers (YEP) Project is a peer-led youth sexual health project run by the Youth Affairs Council of WA (YACWA). We provide inclusive sexual health education to young people and the youth sector across Western Australia.

-
Consent
-
Contraception
-
Findings and Recommendations of annual YEP Youth and Youth Sector Surveys

Healthy relationships
-
LGBTQIA+

Porn literacy
