Healthy Relationships



This last Thursday Sarah and Michelle from Family Service Alliance were our guest speakers. They were invited to talk to the students of Upward Bound about dating violence, abuse, and threats. Sarah and Michelle help people that have been in any type of abuse. They can also help the victim with their court progress. They can put the victim in a home and make them feel safe. Sarah and Michelle also did some activities with the students to get them involved with the topic. For example, they created a list of some of the things they would like to have in a healthy relationship. They listed things like being respectful, loving, caring, sweet, and honest. Sarah and Michelle were able to get all of students involved in the topic. If some of the students wanted to share something. they could as it was confidential. These guest speakers gave the students lots of good information that could be used later on in their lives. If the students apply this advice they will have healthier relationships.
