Safe Dates Curriculum
YEA employs the adolescent dating abuse prevention program called Safe Dates by Hazeldon.
Safe Dates is an evidence-based program that educates youth and adolescents on how to identify and prevent dating violence. Through ten engaging sessions, students learn the causes of dating violence, how to help friends in abusive relationships, common gender stereotypes regarding dating violence, and important prevention techniques.
When studying the efficacy of the program, compared with controls, adolescents receiving Safe Dates reported significantly less physical, serious physical, and sexual dating violence perpetration and victimization 4 years after the program
