Grade 8 (Year Three)
Healthy Relationships/Dating Violence
Coming up this week: Healthy Relationships/Dating Violence
This week 8th grade scholars will be discussing Healthy Relationships and Dating Violence.
Teaching prevention in middle school matters. During these years we have a critical window of opportunity to teach young adolescents about healthy relationships and how to prevent teen dating violence. Studies have shown that teen dating violence behaviors and associated risk factors are prevalent among middle school students.
This week we will review protective factors that can be strengthened to reinforce positive norms and promote healthy relationships. These early healthy relationships can set the stage for the future.
Studies have also shown that being the victim of child abuse and/or adolescent dating violence is highly predictive of intimate partner violence among young adults. Rather than repairing the damage later on, we can help equip young teens to develop healthy relationships throughout their life. Overall, prevention needs to be a priority.
Please make sure to dedicate time on Day Two to discuss respect amongst eachothers views and go over other advisory norms prior to beginning this topic. We must remind students that advisory is a safe place.
