The Teen Relationship Workbook is for professionals working with young people to prevent or end relationship abuse. The workbook can be used in individual sessions, educational settings andpsych-educational or support groups.
Although the workbook is certainly appropriate as a means of general education on relationship issues, it is primarily intended as a tool for engaging victims, perpetrators and those at risk of being either, in the following tasks:
- Identifying the healthy and unhealthy characteristics of relationships they are in, have been in or may be in in the future;
- Understanding the dynamics of emotional, physical and sexual abuse in intimate relationships;
- Exploring and clarifying their own values, beliefs and attitudes about gender roles and intimate relationships;
- Becoming empowered to make positive, healthy decisions about their own intimate relationship.
