I’ve got a question about…
Green flags

What should I look for?
Green flags feel like safety + respect
They listen and don’t rush you
They apologise and try again
They respect your boundaries
You feel calmer after seeing them (not stressed)

Try this:

After you hang out, ask yourself:
“Do I feel safe, respected, and free to be myself?”
That’s a strong sign you’re on the right track.

At FS Academy - We do skill development around 2 specific areas. Relationships make up so much of human existence, so learning how to have safe relationships is fundamental. Financial Literacy - the emotional toll living hand to mouth causes runs through the undercurrent of our entire life.

This is our complete focus and has been for over 5 years. We are experts in our area. To hear more about how we support people with these two key areas, reach out.

Friendship Appreciation post. So many people come to Date-Ability because they want that 'special person'. But what if your special person is a great mate? What if, the companionship you have been searching for is your friend?

Date-Ability covers relationships.. this includes friendships. Learning how to set boundaries in friendships is equally important!

Date-Ability Term 3 locations and spots have just been released - don't miss out on the next intake. Go to our website to secure your spot - www.fsacademy.com.au

I’ve got a question about…

How do I say no
without feeling guilty?
Boundaries are not rude. They’re self-respect

You can be kind and clear.
You don’t need a big explanation.

Try these “no” scripts:
“No thanks, I’m not comfortable with that.”
“Not today.”
“I need some space.”
If someone gets angry, that’s information.

I’ve got a question about…
Consent

What does it actually sound like?

Consent sounds like clear words (not guessing)
“Yes, I want to.”
“I’m okay with that.”
“Can we slow down?”
“No, not today.”
Consent can change. Stopping is always okay.

Try this:

Ask before you act.
“Is this okay?” / “Do you want to keep going?”
The right person will respect your answer.
