Consent is something many of us were never properly taught — yet its absence has lifelong impacts. In this episode, we’re joined by Brooke McCoy, Ingamo’s Child and Youth Worker, to explore how conversations about consent often fail young people, and what that silence can lead to as they grow into adulthood.Drawing from her frontline experience supporting children and youth impacted by gender-based violence, Brooke shares insight into what kids and teens are actually navigating today, the warning signs adults often miss, and how early, age-appropriate conversations can build confidence, boundaries, and safety. Together, we unpack how schools, families, coaches, and communities can play a role in creating healthier norms — and why prevention must start long before harm occurs.Resources & Support:Tea and Consent Videohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZwvrxVavnQDomestic Abuse Services Oxford (Emergency shelter & 24/7 crisis line)Website: www.daso.caCrisis Line Toll-Free Number: 1-800-265-1938Ingamo Homes (Second stage housing & support)Website:www.ingamohomes.comFollow us on Instagram: @canwetalkaboutthat
