These services will promote healthy relationships and an understanding of acceptable behaviours and attitudes in relation to relationships and sexual health. RSE group sessions Brook will deliver targeted relationship and sex education (RSE) group sessions to young people in a range of settings including PRUs. Sessions can be a vital resilience building experience for boys and young men, supporting them to develop the skills needed to establish a positive social element in their lives, and to equip them for building safe and healthy relationships with others in the future.
