The high school series of the Prevention Education package dives deeper into the topics of Healthy Relationships and Teen Dating Violence and is designed for auditory, visual, and kinesthetic learners. The curriculum is divided into three Nonviolence 101 courses and four Nonviolence 102 courses and can be facilitated as a traditional class presentation or Community Circle, a trauma-informed, empowerment-centered space where students learn about violence prevention and healthy relationship skills through group discussion and interactive activities. Students will develop skills related to embodying consent, building healthy relationships, supporting survivors of dating violence, and more.Â
