Why Me? is a programme of activities and exercises designed to be used with young people who have experienced victimisation which incorporates Protective Behaviours and Restorative Approaches. The activities can be adapted for children of any age and include drawing, writing letters and identifying supportive networks.  The book also includes guidance for any adult working to support a child who is struggling to cope following an experience of victimisation, with case examples.

Resources for school and group work

Our Safestories videos explore common themes and risks for young people including child exploitation, cyber abuse, self-harm, sexual assault and bullying. These videos are designed to be accessed directly by young people and are accompanied by tips and advice for dealing with the issues.  The videos are also used as a helpful resource for preventative social education in schools and youth work settings.  Alongside education professionals we have written lesson plans to accompany the videos for young people aged 11 to 16.
