This program addresses the issue of building resilience in our youth and reducing and preventing anti-social behaviour. This program has an early intervention prevention focus as it skills our young people toward adulthood and identifies young people at risk of becoming perpetrators and/or victims of anti-social behaviour.

Rock and Water offers those working with youth a new way to interact with boys through physical-social teaching (though the program can also be taught to girls). Physical exercises are constantly linked with mental and social skills.

The program leads from simple self-defence, on to boundary and communication exercises, and then to a strong notion of self-confidence. The program offers a framework of exercises and ideas about boys and manhood to assist boys to become aware of purpose and motivation in their life. Topics include: intuition, body language, mental strength, empathic feeling, positive thinking and positive visualising. Discussion topics include bullying, sexual harassment, homophobia, life goals, desires and following an inner compass.
