The Healthy Relationship Plus Program applies the same core principles of skill building and awareness as the Fourth R classroom-based programs, but in a non-classroom setting. This program targets the prevention of violence through the promotion of positive, healthy relationships. Ours is a proactive, competency-enhancement approach rather than a treatment.
It is a program for small groups (6-25 youth) and has been enhanced to include a strengthened focus on mental health and suicide prevention, and drug and alcohol use.
Intended Participants
This program is intended for youth between the ages of 12 and 18. We strongly advise that younger youth not be included because the content and strategies were specifically selected for this age group.
Session Topics:

Influences on Relationships
Early Warning Signs of Dating Violence
Communication Styles
Standing Up for What is Right
When Friendships and Relationships End
