Today’s episode will focus on Family Diversity

Can you guess why I chose this topic? It is natural for adolescents to  notice differences and similarities between your family and other families in your community. All families are unique! In this episode we will learn not to be judgmental of these differences, but instead we will learn to accept and celebrate all the different types of families in Sierra Leone.

After this episode, you will be able to:

1. Describe different kinds of families

2. Reflect on how family members influence young people’s values

3. Consider how young people might feel being excluded

4. Show respect for different kinds of families
