Trigger warning: Consent and sexual abuse 

EPISODE 6 

This week I got deep talking with my two friends Ella and Belle. With the help of Flex Mami's REFLEX card games, we discussed some important topics in our lives and BOY did we have a good chat. However, this week's ep comes with a trigger warning as we delved into a discussion about consent and touched on sexual abuse and non-consensual relationships. We spoke about the poor sex education programs in our Victorian schools as well as touched on how to recognise positive and negative friendships, especially during a pandemic. 

Please note, the answers to these questions are all uniquely our own thoughts and opinions and are not intended to disrespect anyone in any way. This is a really important conversation to us all and we hope we have answered these questions with sensitivity and respect.
