OUR IMPACT
We have impacted over 17,000 people across WA.
Empowering Knowledge and Well-being: Our programs don't just educate; they empower. By sparking informed conversations, we arm young people with the insights they need to own their well-being confidently.
Cultivating Positive Social Outcomes: We're not just shifting perspectives; we're making a real impact on communities. Our efforts strengthen relationships and empower communities, contributing to the prevention of family and domestic violence.
Creating Safe Spaces for Empowerment: Safety encourages openness. When we create secure environments, it leads to more honest conversations and breaks down the barriers to open dialogue.
Dismantling Stigmas and Fostering Resilience: Our programs tackle stigmas head-on. We’re not just providing education; we’re helping people build resilience and confidence through community engagement.

TESTIMONIALS
“It was so lovely to have two incredible presenters deliver some very important safety messages to our Year 9 and 10 girls around the topics of ‘online safety’ and issues around ‘consent’.
Our audiences were captivated by the messages and information shared and left feeling more empowered and in control. The Students felt both Nicolette and Kate were open, accepting and provided a safe and comfortable atmosphere in the room.” — School Health Nurse
“I just wanted to say a big THANK YOU from the RYC staff and the girls in She/Her.
I have heard nothing but positive words from our girls about you lot. We really appreciate you coming down and educating our group.
I honestly wish something like this was around when I was growing up, all the misinformation and stigma around the human body and mental health. Two super important topics you guys covered in such a light-hearted and engaging way.
I am a facilitator myself and know how hard it is to keep a group of teens engaged for that long. Especially a group of girls you don’t know.
I was nothing but impressed and am SO EXCITED to have you back next term. And I cannot wait to work with you again soon.” — Social Worker
“Thank you so much Kate and Nicolette for the talk at ** for year 9 girls today! Its really amazing to finally see some kind of program being brought into schools to educate kids about just how to be generally good people and how to navigate the world and relationships as we get older. ** has had quite a bit of issues regarding the whole area of consent, sexism, homophobia and racism, mostly coming from a lot of uneducated boys across year groups so it’s really comforting to know that us girls aren’t alone in the fight. Everything you said was really inspiring and important and just an overall thank you from me and so many others, what you guys are doing is making a real difference and is starting conversations between people which desperately needs to happen :)” —

“In our ideal space, being a good guy transcends mere labels – it entails speaking out against harmful behaviour and sexist language. After all, a true good guy is defined by actions that promote respect, equality, and accountability.”
