  • Description:
    This guide is a supplement to Dating Matters® –a comprehensive prevention model delivered in schools and communities that teaches skills to help young people have healthy, safe relationships both now and in the future. Although it is called Dating Matters, the program talks about all kinds of relationships, including those with family members and friends. This guide focuses on relationships among lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning (LGBTQ+) youth. It is full of activities and important information about healthy, safe relationships. It will remind you how to keep relationships healthy and fun. It will also be a helpful guide if you or a friend have questions or are wondering what to do about an unhealthy or unsafe relationship.

    Everyone deserves safe and healthy relationships no matter who you love or how you identify. Everyone can benefit from learning what a healthy relationship looks like and practicing the skills needed to have strong relationships. This might mean learning how to resolve conflicts with respect or having open, honest communication with a partner. You might have already learned some of these skills if you participated in Dating Matters!

    LGBTQ+ youth may experience unique challenges and opportunities in their relationships. Learning more about those needs and experiences can help LGBTQ+ youth have safe and healthy relationships. If you know you are LGBTQ+ or are questioning if you might be, this guide is for you. This guide can also help you support friends, family, and classmates who are LGBTQ+.
