We discuss:
- puberty – what it is, when it starts and the biological, psychological and social components
- delivering education to young people and parents
- running puberty group programs – and how you can run your own
- adopting a biopsychosocial approach
- therapeutic use of self and sharing our own personal stories to build trust and connection
- new occupations that are woven into a young person’s routines
- period care products
- menstruation, masturbation and so much more!
