Questions people ask
Are the student talks safe for young people?
Yes. Talks are pitched to the age group, focus on hope and help-seeking, and point students to trusted adults and support services.
Do you work with government schools?
Yes. Content can be faith-neutral for government schools, or include Dave's faith story for Christian schools.
