About Under PressureUnder Pressure is a free training programme developed by Zero Tolerance which aims to support professionals working with young people to open discussions with them about some of the challenges and pressures they may be facing.
The training takes participants through a robust introduction to gender and gender-based abuse. The webinar will include exploration of the potential risks of grooming and sexual exploitation, negotiating online safety, engaging in healthy consent-based relationships, and dealing with the pressures to conform to idealised models of ‘how to be’ men and women.
