Reviews
This is another in a series of strong programs on issues faced by teens and young adults. A psychologist and a director of a website/hotline organization describe what makes an abusive and a healthy relationship, and they talk about ways friends can help victims make the choice to leave such a relationship. Several types of abuse are discussed, including intimidation; manipulation; emotional, verbal, sexual abuse; and abuse via social media. Male and female victims discuss their experiences, and the actors participating in the reenactments are believable, though most appear to be college-aged. Several resources are included: a down loadable PDF guide featuring National Health Education Standards addressed in the program, a variety of student activities that are designed to get conversations started, and a series of fact sheets that provide additional information and resources.
