About us
Who we are
We are Act on it Now. We’ve been around since 2015 when Cheshire charity, My CWA, noticed there was a lack of support out there to help teenagers & young people to form healthy relationships.
Since then, we’ve helped thousands of young people to improve their relationships.
What’s in a name?
Our name is important. We need to recognise when things are not ok within our relationships. And we need to take action – do something about it – to keep ourselves safe.
That could be setting firm boundaries, seeking help, talking to a professional or calling the police if we’re at risk of immediate harm.
So if something doesn’t feel right, Act on it Now.
Who we help
Young people
Relationships should be fun and exciting – not upsetting, confusing or harmful. But what kinds of behaviours are healthy… unhealthy… toxic? And how can you keep yourself – and others – safe? Find out here.
Parents & carers
Whether you’re worried about your child’s new relationship or you’re struggling with a new dynamic between you & your child, get help with talking openly to teens about relationships here.
Professionals
If you’re a professional working with teens & young people, we can help you talk about forming healthy relationships. You’ll find lots of free resources here to add to your professional toolkit. Click here for details.
