Is This OK?? Talking to Teenagers about Affirmative Consent

Jack Muscat is a Co-Facilitator at The Man Cave, Australia's leading preventative mental health charity for teenage boys and their communities. He is also a paediatric nurse who specialises in sex education, with more than a decade of experience in the field.
He joins Jarrah Volpe, Digital Facilitator and Content Coordinator at The Man Cave, for Season 2 of Is This OK?? Talking to Teenagers about Affirmative Consent.
In a fast-paced world with endless streams of information and content in their pockets, young people are more aware of and tuned in to conversations about sex, sexuality, consent and gender than ever before. So how do we, the adults, parents, educators and role models in their lives, talk about these subjects with them?
Is This OK?? Talking to Teenagers about Affirmative Consent is a podcast series providing tools, tips and techniques to help you support young people to understand affirmative consent. The young people in our lives may not always feel comfortable broaching this topic with us — and vice versa — but that doesn’t mean the conversation can’t be had. Dive into this podcast series to learn ways of having the conversation that invites young people in.
Is This OK?? is supported by the Victorian Government, through its Supporting Young People to Understand Affirmative Consent initiative.
