Dear Carmel Smith,

As far as date violence prevention program goes, I have a couple of manuals.  I hope they are helpful to you.

Wolfe, David A. (1996). The Youth Relationships Manual: A group approach with adolescents for the prevention of woman abuse and the promotion of healthy relationships. Thousand Oaks: Sage.

House of Ruth (1995). Teen Dating Violence Prevention Curriculum. Available at P.O. Box 457, Claremont, CA 91711, (909) 623-4364.

In terms of working with adolescents, the following book might be helpful.

Morganett, Rosemarie S. (1990). Skills for Living: Group Counseling Activities for Young Adolescents. Available at Research Press, 2612 North Mattis Avenue, Champaign, Il 61821.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

>I am a mature age student in the last year of a Community Welfare Diploma Course and part of my fieldwork assignment is to develop small programs to bring awareness to the local high school children (12 to 18 years) of the prevalence of abuse in the home, school and dating areas. I have very little idea of just how to go about it in order to present the knowledge without promoting bogey-men and monsters. Any ideas or suggestions would be most welcome. You all seem to be at the place where I want to go i.e. working in the field, and since this is a requirement of my course I must complete it. Please help. Many thanks.
