Publisher's Synopsis
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, every year, 1 in 4 adolescents experience verbal, physical, emotional, or sexual abuse from a dating partner.
It is imperative to stop dating violence before it ever starts. This evidence-based program helps teens recognize the difference between caring, supportive relationships and controlling, manipulative, or abusive relationships. It is during the critical preteen and teen years that young people begin to learn the skills needed to create and foster positive relationships.
Safe Dates equips young people with the tools they need to develop these important life skills. Highly engaging and interactive, Safe Dates reflects the issues today's teens face.
This revised curriculum includes a facilitator's guide with:
- Updated statistics and facts.
- Information on dating abuse through technology.
- All handouts and parent resources on USB flash drive.
- New Families for Safe Dates program to get families talking about healthy dating, relationships and dating abuse.
