In this active four-hour program students identify the most relevant safety challenges they face as young men in today’s culture. The workshop covers both emotional and physical safety including:

• Healthy relationships – friendships, romantic relationships, relationships with adults in positions of authority

• Peer Pressure and bullying, including relational aggression & harassment 
• Identifying, expressing, and getting help with emotions when needed
