Dating Violence Youth Education Package

The DVYEP is a resource designed for educators in a school-based setting to address dating violence prevention through exercises emphasizing healthy relationships. It includes background information, lesson plans, educator sheets, student surveys and handouts, as well as a poster in both English and Spanish. The package includes tools to: "BUILD students' awareness of dating violence; GIVE students the ability to recognize warning signs in their own or friends' relationships; OFFER emergency and ongoing help that could prevent a tragedy; and PROMOTE non-controlling, non-violent behavior among teens." For a full description, see "What is the Dating Violence Youth Education Package?" (November 7, 2002) from the State of Michigan.
