The Youth Relationships Manual
Developed by a team of researchers and educators at Western Ontario University in Canada, this training manual provides step-by-step instructions for conducting relationship violence prevention trainings and action planning sessions with youth groups. Field-tested with a group of adolescents at risk of relationship abuse, this 18-session series was designed to be used with after-school groups of teens but can also be adapted for use within a school setting. Each chapter builds on previous lessons and takes teens through a series of exercises aimed at helping them learn basic facts and definitions related to date rape and dating violence, understand the links between gender-based violence and other forms of oppression, develop new relationship skills, and organize a community outreach event together. Team-building exercises are provided, along with detailed instructions for conducting recommended activities. Recommended readings and descriptions of videos that can be used with the series are included.

Recommended for youth activist organizers, educators and group facilitators.
