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. |
