Summary of Curriculum:
This is a multi-media curriculum that deals with issues of healthy relationships and dating violence from a non-religious perspective. The curriculum is open to a diverse ethnic, socioeconomic, and sexual population and does not perpetuate stereotypes of relationship roles for males or females, gay or straight couples. The curriculum is careful to point out that both males and females can experience dating violence, as well as mentioning the existence of dating violence in same-sex couples. A separate guide is included in the curriculum to tailor the program to meet the needs of a Jewish population. The facilitator’s guide for working with Jewish youth uses Jewish texts and includes resources for teaching the topic. The author offers suggestions for using the curriculum during retreats and in classrooms.
