Welcome to Mates and Dates, a podcast for young people by young people where we talk about the experiences of young people becoming independent and building and maintaining healthy relationships, including romantic, friendships and self-love (the most important relationship you'll ever have). We know communicating who you are and what you want takes time, so this podcast is about navigating the throws of life, from working through change to exploring identity. This podcast was made possible through a NSW Communities and Justice Youth Opportunities Grant.
