Healthy Relationships

The Healthy Relationships Program is a school-based program for youth that focuses on violence prevention and the place that gender and cultural inequality plays in violence.

The goal of the program is to prevent and reduce the incidents of relationship violence in the lives of youth and teens. This is accomplished through supporting them to develop the knowledge, skills, and attitudes they need for current and future healthy and respectful relationships in all aspects of their lives.
