Safe Dates
A prevention program for middle and high school, male and female students, ages 11-18, designed to stop or prevent dating violence perpetration and victimization, including the psychological, physical, and sexual abuse that may occur between youths involved in a dating relationship. The program goals are to change adolescent norms on dating violence and gender-roles, improve conflict resolution skills for dating relationships, promote victims’ and perpetrators’ beliefs in the need for help and awareness of community resources for dating violence, encourage help-seeking by victims and those who commit crimes against them, and develop peer help-giving skills.
