Based on her book, Does Your Relationship Make the Grade?
"Strategies to improve your dating relationships and avoid date rape", Darlene Barriere, the relationship lady, presents a powerful talk that will have students engaged and leave them empowered.
Drawing from her personal experiences as a survivor of sexual assault, Darlene will inspire students to make healthy, mutually respectful relationship choices.
Students will learn to communicate more effectively in their relationships and avoid misunderstandings that can ultimately lead to allegations of sexual assault. Students are provided with key strategies on how to get out when they are in unhealthy relationships. And most importantly, students who have been victimized by dating violence will come to understand that the shame and guilt they experience is not theirs to bear. Darlene will motivate them to take back their lives!
Points examined:
Communication differences between males and females
Fundamentals of healthy relationships
Dynamics behind unhealthy relationships
The cycle of violence
What constitutes "consent"
Issues surrounding date rape
The possible life-long consequences of sexting
Date rape drugs and how students can protect themselves
