  • If you accidentally assaulted someone, how do you help?
    Apr 17 2024

    This is one of our favourite questions we’ve been asked! Adie and Tom talk through
    what we can do if we realise we’ve caused harm to someone, ways we can reflect
    and how we can change behaviour. The episode also discusses the lack of good role
    models in owning our mistakes and the gap in our community support for young
    people who have caused harm but want to change.

    Findings from the 2017 National Community Attitudes towards Violence against Women Survey (NCAS) (ANROWS Insights, Issue 01/2019). Sydney: ANROWS. P. 22 are referenced in this episode.

  • What do you do if you are getting weird vibes from a guy in the street and you can’t do anything?
    Apr 9 2024

    Sadly, this is a pretty common experience. In this episode, Tom & Adie
    talk about the warning signs our body gives us when we feel unsafe, what our
    options are, and what it means to be an ‘Ethical Bystander’ when we see someone
    in distress.

  • What is the best thing to do when you know someone that has been assaulted but they don’t want you to tell anyone?
    Mar 19 2024

    Heads up, this episode will include explicit conversation around sexual harm. This is
    a tough one – There are so many reasons why someone might not want to get help
    after an assault, and it can feel like an impossible task to know but also keep it to
    yourself. In this episode, Adie & Tom talk through our options when someone
    discloses to us but asks us to keep it to ourselves – Who the professionals are, what
    our obligations are, and how we can support the person in the moment.

    Feb 20 2024

    Sounds like a crazy idea right?! Join Adie and Tom as they talk about what it actually means to be consenting, why it’s not just about sex, and why consent might be both simpler and more complicated when we’re younger.
