Talking about bodies, relationships, and sexuality can feel daunting, whether you're a parent, educator, or simply curious. Doing ‘IT‘ is here to make those essential conversations a little easier and a lot more informed. Created by the Schools, Community and Disability team at Sexual Health Victoria, this podcast brings expert voices directly to you, demystifying the wide world of relationships and sexuality education without judgment. Each episode delves into practical and nuanced topics-from navigating puberty and understanding consent to exploring identity and fostering safe, healthy relationships. We recognize that many adults struggle with how to start these talks with the young people in their care. That’s precisely why this resource exists: to offer clarity, evidence-based information, and a sense of shared experience. Tuning in, you’ll hear straightforward discussions that replace anxiety with actionable knowledge, helping to build a foundation for open, honest dialogue. This isn't about a single lecture; it's an ongoing conversation that evolves with life's changes. Join us on Doing ‘IT‘ for a compassionate and comprehensive guide to topics that matter deeply to everyone's wellbeing.
