Relationships & Sexuality Educator

Supporting Schools, Parents and Young People

Relationships, Sexuality and Digital Culture in a Changing World

Young people today are growing up in a world shaped by social media, online content, changing relationships, and increasing access to information. Supporting their wellbeing requires age-appropriate education, trusted relationships, and open communication between schools and families.

I am Dr Brigid Teevan, an educator, researcher, and specialist in Relationships and Sexuality Education (RSE) with over 20 years of experience working with primary and post-primary schools across Ireland.

My work supports young people at different stages of development, from learning about puberty, reproduction, friendships, and body changes in primary school, to exploring relationships, consent, sexual health, online influences, and digital culture in post-primary education.

Working in Partnership

I believe young people benefit most when schools and families work together. Through student programmes, parent engagement, teacher professional development, and educational resources, I help school communities create safe and supportive environments where young people can ask questions, develop critical thinking skills, and make informed decisions.

How I Support School Communities

Schools
Age-appropriate programmes that complement SPHE, RSE, and wellbeing initiatives.

Parents
Information evenings, workshops, and online resources that help parents feel more informed and confident in supporting conversations at home.

Educators
Professional learning opportunities that support confidence, consistency, and good practice when addressing sensitive topics.

Building Confidence for Life

Relationships and Sexuality Education is about more than providing information. It is about helping young people develop the knowledge, communication skills, confidence, and support networks they need to navigate relationships and life in an increasingly complex social and digital world.
