Treating Your Partner with Equality and Respect

Personal commitments:

“I can help end sexism by challenging the "man box." I could stop giving silent approval by not just standing by. I can accept my responsibility that violence won't end until men make it.”

Healthy Relationships Curriculum

Have your middle or high school class, faith-based youth program, or after-school club participate in the Healthy Relationships Curriculum.  As of June 2009, DELTA has engaged over 4,700 teens in Ottawa and Allegan Counties in the “Healthy Relationships: Treating Your Partner with Equality and Respect” dating violence primary prevention curriculum since 2006.  The focus of this three-session curriculum is on influencing current attitudes and beliefs about dating violence and equipping teens with more knowledge about dating violence, healthy relationships, bystander skills, and gender norms that influence roles in relationships.  West Michigan Schools that regularly participate in the curriculum include: Hamilton High School, Fennville High School, Holland High School, Spring Lake High School, and West Ottawa High School.
