Safe Dates: An Adolescent Dating Abuse Prevention Curriculum

Description

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. This evidence-based program helps teens recognize the difference between caring, supportive relationships and controlling, manipulative, or abusive relationships. It is during the critical pre-teen and teen years that young people begin to learn the skills needed to create and foster positive relationships.

Approved by the Australian Research Alliance for Children & Youth (ARACY) Prevention Science Network (What Works for Kids), and by the U.S National Registry of Evidence-based Programs and Practices (NREPP).
