FORGE is a programme designed to support teenagers in developing healthy relationships, positive self-leadership, respectful behaviour, and personal responsibility.

The title reflects the core principle of the programme: character, confidence, and behaviour are shaped over time through reflection, guidance, and everyday choices.

Each session connects to one element of FORGE, creating a clear and coherent journey of growth:

F – Friendships & Relationships

O – Ownership of Self

R – Respect & Responsibility

G – Growth through Choices

E – Everyday Character

Set up the environment in a supportive way. Before you begin, set clear group expectations, including reassurance that you are not there to blame or bring shame. The group should feel safe, supportive, and enjoyable.
