  • Description:
    The COVID-19 pandemic has changed how we live, work, learn, and play to keep ourselves, our families, and our communities safe. Many schools and community-based organizations have closed or restricted access to slow the spread of the virus, requiring the development of new and innovative ways of delivering education, prevention, and intervention services virtually. A survey conducted by Blueprints for Healthy Youth Development between May and June 2020 found that 78% of the evidence-based youth development interventions included in their database had received requests to change the mode of program delivery as a result of COVID-19, and 76% had received requests for changes to training and/or support. Most of these programs reported providing online resources (55%), online training workshops (72%), and tele-sessions or video conferencing support services (60%) in response to these requests from communities.

    This guide provides adaptation guidance for the virtual implementation of the Dating Matters youth, parent, and youth communication programs to assist communities in carrying out the programs with fidelity and flexibility in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. This guidance can also be applied by any community or organization in which virtual implementation is preferred.
