A Healthy Relationships Program for Vulnerable Youth

Each program session includes an initial soap opera-like story to build interest and illustrate key concepts, 2-3 group-based activities with reflection, individual app-based work on tablets to allow for personalization of the content, and a group-based debrief to reflect on the day and reinforce key messages. The group-based content is delivered by trained facilitators from the participating school-based health centers. The app-based content is housed on a secure website and accessed through tablets with unique log-ins for each participant. Activities are completed individually during the session (e.g., completing a poll; watching and responding to a brief video). Several lessons include homework activities that encourage communication between students and a caring adult.
