Delving Deeper: continuing the conversation
This workshop is the next step for anyone who has completed our ‘Introducing the 10 Signs’ workshop, which forms the foundation of our programme and must be completed by everyone.
During our Delving Deeper workshop, young people explore the 10 Signs of healthy and unhealthy relationships in greater depth, building the skills to navigate complex situations and the practical tools to seek help when worried about a friend.
Co-designed with young people to reflect their lived experiences, the content is relevant, accessible, and impactful. This session supports schools in meeting updated RSHE requirements from September 2026, specifically the increased focus on real-world relevance and youth voice.
This workshop recognises that relationships aren’t always straightforward, and that challenging unhealthy behaviour can be difficult.
Overview:
This interactive workshop empowers young people with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to:
- Build healthy foundations: Foster respectful and positive connections in all areas of life, from dating to long-term friendships.
- Recognise & respond: Identify harmful behaviours – in their own lives and their peers’ – understand how these feel in the body, and gain the confidence to seek support.
- Become a trusted ally: Learn how to listen, respond, support a friend without judgement and nurture a healthy relationship.
- Challenge harmful attitudes: Learn to safely and constructively address unhealthy beliefs, social pressures, and “group-think” that can normalise abuse.
Our approach:
The session is delivered by highly skilled professionals using a trauma-informed, youth-centered approach to ensure a safe, inclusive environment for all.

Through group discussion, real-life scenarios, and guided reflection, young people explore the 10 Signs and develop tools for their everyday lives. Co-designed with young people to reflect their lived experiences, the content is relevant, accessible, and impactful.

The LMK difference: Co-designed by young people
Our content is developed with our Youth Advisory Board, ensuring it speaks the language of young people today. Our workshops are led by youth workers who are expert facilitators – many with lived experience – to foster a non-judgmental and safe environment. This creates the trust necessary to handle sensitive topics effectively while maintaining a rigorous safeguarding culture.
A whole school approach to RSHE
With the new Relationship, Sex, and Health Education (RSHE) requirements now a national priority, schools must embed specialist education into their curriculum.
LMK acts as your specialist partner to help you achieve a whole school approach. By integrating our youth-co-designed sessions, you ensure that you are meeting the RSHE requirements and, most importantly, are delivering safe, trauma-informed relationship education that is relevant to the lived experiences of your students.
