DO YOU: Building Youth Resilience Through Creative Expression (www.doyoutools.org) is a primary prevention strategy to address teen dating violence, sexual harassment, and bullying. DO YOU addresses youth violence by confronting root causes and enhancing protective factors (building resilience) to promote positive development and healthy relationships for young people ages 13-16 years old. This training is designed for adult facilitators and teen mentors/peer facilitators who are interested in implementing DO YOU in their communities. Participants will learn about the history and development of the program, engage in experiential and art-based activities, and receive facilitation tools for implementing the DO YOU program. Participants will receive the DO YOU UnCurriculum (program facilitation guide), 21 zines, tools for evaluation, and ongoing technical assistance to support program implementation. Participants are encouraged to participate in our Principles of Primary Prevention training (or equivalent introduction to primary prevention training) as a pre-requisite. We also recommend attending our Joyful Sexuality and the Movement to and Sexual and Domestic Violence for a solid understanding of healthy sexuality as a strategy for violence prevention. Lunch is provided each day! Please note that registration is from 9:30 – 10:00 AM with the training starting promptly at 10:00 AM. Please leave yourself time to arrive and park so that we can start on time. This is a long training so please feel free to dress comfortably. Note: We will try to accommodate last minute language translation requests but we typically need two weeks to secure interpretation services.

Registration for this training closes on July 16th.
