One of the services we provide is that we go into local schools and teach about healthy relationships. They learn the difference between healthy and unhealthy relationships and they work on developing relationship skills. Filled with fun activities, this all takes place using multiple interactive learning styles. Below are some of the comments from students about the classes.
