Attaining the skills necessary to maintain healthy relationships is a major developmental milestone during adolescence. Failure to obtain these skills impacts their relationships well into adulthood. Research tells us that the way teens define relationships and their ability to communicate within their relationships are two important factors in their decisions about sexual activity and contraception use.
Respect, honesty, fidelity, communication, and the absence of violence are all characteristics that teenagers have cited as crucial aspects of healthy relationships. This training is filled with dynamic and thought-provoking activities that help teens to build and strengthen their relationship skills to create the healthy relationships they deserve
