Young Women's Lives
This curriculum package provides facilitators with lessons, exercises and activities designed to help young women develop self-respect, along with a repertoire of skills for creating healthy relationships with friends, allies and dating partners. Issues of power and control in relationships, stereotypes of how women ought to act, ways that women have learned to restrain or stifle expressions of anger, and strategies for resisting others' acts of aggression are a few of the many topics covered in the series. The package was created by Todos Institute staff, in partnership with the Oakland Men's Project. Instructions and exercises for 21 sessions are provided, along with recommendations for reducing the series to 10-12 sessions. The package includes a facilitator's guide with student handouts, workbooks for group participants, a 28 minute video, wallet cards, and set of three posters. Each component can be purchased separately.

Recommended for facilitators, counselors, and youth activists working with young women and teens in school settings or after-school groups.
