We've had great feedback from the high school students to date, both in Colorado and Hawaii. Their feedback has helped shape the materials and presentations. Presentations include: Understanding Interpersonal Violence, Conflict Resolution, and Communication Skills.
STAHRS hopes to work with student athletes from middle schools and high schools to teach them about healthy relationship dynamics and to recognize the warning signs of teen dating violence. Our young men need to learn how & why to respect women instead of the typical sexual objectification. Our young women need to learn that they deserve to be treated with respect and to "NEVER SETTLE" for less. They need to learn how to build self-esteem, self-respect, and self-confidence as these are great protective factors to avoiding unhealthy relationships.
STAHRS wants to thank Troy Freitas, Peer Education teacher at Radford High School in Honolulu for his ongoing support as we have been able to engage his students several times each semester for the past couple years.
We especially want to thank his students for their fantastic feedback, input, engaging discussions, and guidance.
