Teach tweens and teens how to prevent dating and domestic violence with a unit on healthy relationships. The unit begins with class members taking a relationships survey. As the unit progresses, class members engage in activities that have them practice setting boundaries and effective communication skills. They also examine gender roles, and the influence media has on their perception of these roles. Other topics explored in the unit include identifying the cycle of abuse and being a courageous bystander to end abuse. It's a powerful and carefully crafted resource.
