Our evidence-based curriculum teaches young people how to identify – and to know what to do when they see – the signs of an unhealthy relationship in their own or their friends’ lives. These seven learning objectives summarize the skills and beliefs that are key to positively changing relationship behavior:

Know the signs and spot the signs

Understand the 10 Signs of a Healthy and Unhealthy Relationship and be able to recognize them in your life and in the relationships around you.

Engage in conversations about healthy 
and unhealthy relationships

To change the norms around relationship health, we need to go beyond recognizing the healthy and unhealthy relationship behaviors we see around us and begin talking about them with others.

Practice healthy relationship behaviors

Everyone deserves to be in healthy relationships. This means (1) live the 10 Signs of a Healthy Relationship, (2) set expectations for what we deserve in a relationship, and (3) build a healthy relationship with ourselves.

Communicate boundaries and 
practice consent

Setting and respecting boundaries of all types - physical, digital, emotional - are central to a healthy relationship.

Help a friend in an unhealthy relationship

To effectively help our friends, we need to recognize when they are experiencing or engaging in unhealthy behaviors, have the courage to have the conversation, and knowledge of how to do so safely.

Navigate endings

Understanding when and how to end a relationship requires thoughtful decision-making under stressful circumstancing, even more so when the relationship might be dangerous and there is a need for safety planning.

Access resources when in need

To get support, you need to know who to turn to – parents, trusted adult, professionals, peers – and be willing to reach out, even when it might be uncomfortable.
