Helping Young People Make Informed Choices

 

Understanding the real-life consequences of crime is crucial for young people to make informed, positive choices. 

Our Crime & Consequences Workshop provides valuable insights from individuals with lived experience, showing the harsh realities of crime .

This powerful crime-diversion workshop is led by individuals with first-hand experience of crime, sharing real-life stories of the poor decisions they made, and the consequences they faced.  Valuable insights which help young people understand the real-life impact of crime and its far-reaching effects on individuals, families, and communities.

 

Workshop Objectives Include:

  • Resisting Peer Pressure: Teaching strategies for saying no and making positive, independent choices.

  • The Real Impact of Wrong Choices: Exploring the long-term consequences of criminal behaviour on individuals and communities.

  • The Harsh Realities of Prison Life: Dispel common myths about prison and highlight the life-changing consequences of a criminal record.

  • The Ripple Effects: Examining how crime impacts not only the individual, but also friends, family, and the wider community.

  • Recognizing Risky Choices: Helping students identify red flags and decisions that could lead to criminal convictions.

  • Promoting Positive Alternatives: Providing students with the tools to make empowered, positive decisions that steer them away from crime and help them build a bright future.​​

 

​By understanding the risks and real-life consequences of crime, young people are not only empowered to make better choices for themselves, but also influence their peers, creating a ripple effect that fosters safer and stronger communities
