Choose Life – Guide for Peer Educators and Youth Leaders for Helping Youth Develop Skills for Healthy Relationships<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Making changes in behavior requires more than just new knowledge and new attitudes; new skills are required. Six skills have been identified to help youth make the transition towards healthy behavior change. After every few sessions, a new skill is introduced. Youth are given time to discuss, practice the skill, and make commitments to keep them. As youth demonstrate success with each skill, their confidence grows (as well as their self-efficacy). This encouragement helps to move them towards a long-term commitment for a healthy relationship choice.<\/p>\n

The Choose Life Guide for Peer Educators and Youth Leaders <\/em>provides detailed lesson plans for interactive learning sessions. It uses an easy-to-follow format with many helpful reminders and notes. The activities are designed to make learning fun and active. They include stories, learning games and activities.<\/p>\n

This guide focuses on youth, male and female, aged 15 and older.<\/p>\n
