Making sex ed less awkward and the secret to a good divorce

from Life Matters - Full program podcast · host Australian Broadcasting Corporation

A recent survey of Australian school teachers found more than half had no formal training in sex and relationships education before becoming a teacher. Many of them feel poorly equipped for the job. Researcher Lily Moor and respectful relationships educator Evan Couper discuss how to better equip teachers to provide the sex ed teenagers need. The latest stats from the Australian Bureau of Statistics show divorces are on the rise. When you walk away from the person you thought you'd be with forever, it can be messy, no matter how mature both partners are about it. Karen McNenny, author of The Good Divorce, explains how to find a way through it with as little drama as possible. Every day we make hundreds of choices, big and small. Free will gives us a sense of direction and power over our own lives. But do we truly have free will? A recent study from the University of Melbourne suggests accepting free will doesn't exist might have its own benefits.
