Healthy Relationships Presentations for Youth
We offer a variety of interactive presentations and workshops providing young people with a safe space to discuss healthy dating dynamics, understand interpersonal violence, and gain nonviolence skills.
State Compliance (AB 329): Our curriculum fulfills all California Healthy Youth Act mandates for middle and high school relationship abuse education.
Delivery & Group Size: Using self-reflection, group dialogue, and multimedia tools, sessions are optimized for 36 or fewer students to support open discussion on sensitive topics. We can also adapt activities for larger groups upon request.
Art Workshops
Our Art Empowerment Workshops (AEWs) combine the creative expression of arts and crafts with the importance of social-emotional learning and healthy relationship skill-building. Participants can develop various art skills and build community with others while learning important lifelong skills such as nonviolent communication, setting healthy boundaries, and cultivating self-love and self-confidence.
AEWs can be tailored to any audience size, although the suitability of each request will depend on the workshop space and the supplies needed. These workshops have been hosted in various spaces, from school classrooms to libraries to local venues.

The roles of preventionists in the three levels of prevention, as well as Peer Educators in engaging in prevention education, community engagement, peer counseling, and advocacy work are discussed.
