In the first lesson, the inquiry begins: What is a relationship? Students are asked to consider how they understand and define relationships, as well as how family, friends, and the media have influenced their perceptions. This dynamic course of study involves research, group discussions, projects, and interactive activities. Areas of focus include:

• Perception of relationships
• Developing self-esteem
• Exploring the history and evolution of relationships
• Modern relationships, feminism, and gender roles
• Deconstructing sexism and its effect on interpersonal
  relationships and society at large
• Developing effective communication skills to help build
  and sustain meaningful and fulfilling relationships
• Dating and preventing abuse

…and much more!

With all the chaos and confusion in defining relationships today, it’s time to closely examine our viewpoints, assumptions, and insights as well as our accumulated wisdom. Healthy Relationships 101 uses dynamic lectures, group discussions, and homework assignments to help students develop a broader perspective on a subject that is as rich as it is complex.
