Welcome to ‘Auntie Stella’! If you’re a teenager, or work with young people, and want to explore and discuss friendship, love, sex and relationships, this site is for you! Read the letters young people have written to Auntie Stella, discuss their stories and her advice, and relate their experiences to your lives too.

The Auntie Stella facilitator's guide and cards are downloadable from the TARSC bibliography. This includes the updated 2019 English version, as well as cards translated into Shona, Ndebele, Chichewa and Swahili.

Auntie Stella’ was developed in Zimbabwe by the Training and Research Support Centre. It is one of the many resources TARSC produces using participatory methods. ‘Auntie Stella’ was first produced as a printed pack, with all the letters on cards. It is used with groups of young people, both in and out-of-school. Youth in peer counselling and support groups, including at youth friendly corners in clinics at primary care level, also benefit from and enjoy reading the cards. You can order the pack here.
