Safe Dates is an Evidence-Based Curriculum designed to educate youth and adolescents (12–18 years old) on identifying and preventing dating violence. In this program, participants will learn and discuss the causes of dating violence, how they can help a friend in an abusive relationship, common gender stereotypes regarding dating violence, and essential prevention techniques. It also provides youth with information on dating abuse through technology.
