Counselors work with eighth grade classes in the spring on the topic of learning about and building healthy relationships. Gender stereotypes and expectations are discussed, as well as what the ingredients are for building a strong relationship. Classes also participate in activities designed to help students learn to recognize warning signs in relationships that may develop into abuse. We discuss strategies for getting help or support if a relationship is worrisome.
Healthy Relationship classes begin in March--look at our calendar to see when classes begin for your team.
