💜 Young Luv Program | Family Violence Prevention

Last Wednesday, Vanessa Handy and Tegan Wanganeen joined the Young Luv program led by Djirra at Echuca College, in partnership with the KESOs and Victorian Aboriginal Education Association Inc.

Focused on family violence prevention and healthy relationships for girls aged 13–18, the day brought together young women from Years 7–12 to explore cultural strengths, resilience, and the red flags of unhealthy relationships.

Watching our sister girls confidently name what a healthy relationship looks and feels like was truly deadly. 💪
It was a powerful reminder of what happens when our girls come together in a safe space.

We're grateful to Djirra for this program and look forward to more workshops like this in our community. 🌟
