Teen dating violence doesn’t wait for adulthood; it starts in middle and high schools. The choices and behaviors young people develop during these formative years can have a lasting impact on their relationships and well-being as adults. By addressing these issues early, we can break the cycle of violence and promote healthier, safer futures.
Our Programs:
We’re proud to offer two essential programs tailored to the needs of middle and high school students:
- The Fourth R:
- This curriculum empowers students with critical life skills such as assertive communication, consent, and the importance of setting and respecting boundaries. The Fourth R prepares students not only for healthier relationships but for success in life by teaching them essential interpersonal skills.
- 6-12 one hour sessions offered every week
- Great for groups of about 6-20 students
