Online resources – Wot Wud U Do?

Wot Wud U Do is an interactive and thought provoking resource, designed to help professionals to educate the younger generation on topics that impact them daily, such as mental health, relationships and sex. 

Their vision is simple; to change how young people think when confronted with day to day challenges on mental health, relationships and/or sex. They support their vision with three main aims, which are:

  • To educate young people to think critically when it comes to making decisions
  • To raise their awareness of how their level of self-esteem affects their ability to make decisions
  • To stimulate a lively debate within the classroom by simply asking ‘Wot Wud U Do’.
