WYA, in partnership with Empowerment Theatre and Street Teams, worked with young women who have been abused or exploited, or were at risk of exploitation, to design a series of workshops looking at healthy and unhealthy relationships and issues of control, exploitation and "grooming".

Grooming is when someone forms a relationship with a more vulnerable person to gain their trust, then uses their power to manipulate and exploit them.

The workshops were launched during Walsall's first Grooming Awareness Week, as "Sex, Lies & Love?". Groups of young women from local schools and groups attended workshops over two days. The first day was drama-based work exploring issues such as healthy and unhealthy relationships, spotting the signs of grooming, the perception of prostitution versus the reality of abuse, and sources of help and support.

On the second day, participants split into smaller groups to discuss and create art work expressing and reflecting on what they had learned.
