Josephine & Jack – Your choices about life & love
We are here to help you talk about things that can feel hard, like health, safety, friendships, and love.
We know that talking about relationships and sex is not always easy. With Jo and Jack, you can ask questions and share feelings in a safe and friendly space.
Jo and Jack have joined Skills for People, and we’re very happy in our new home. We hope to welcome you soon, or we can visit you.
What We Do
Jo and Jack are life-size cloth people. They have questions and worries, just like you.

By sharing ideas and listening to each other, you can find answers and feel more confident.
