COURSE: Human Development & Family Studies 501: Relationship Education Practicum
MEDIUM: Video
DESCRIPTION:
This video was created to stimulate conversation in a curriculum about healthy relationship skills. It features two teens out on a first date, and each displays some behaviors that are endearing and some that are concerning. This video is innovative in that the couple is same-sex, and neither can easily be read as a perpetrator or a victim. The audience is invited to note both cute and creepy behaviors without identifying a “bad guy,” and therefore, open conversation about common relationship behaviors that sometimes lead to control or violence in a non-stigmatizing manner.
