Youth Education
Equipping teens for healthy relationships
Research shows our relationships are directly connected to our mental, physical and economic well-being. Hope Cottage equips 3,000+ teens annually for strong connections through engaging education programs that focus on reducing risky behavior, creating healthy relationships and making informed decisions. These courses are ideal for schools, churches and community organizations.
Designed by the Dibble Institute, this nationally recognized, evidence-based curriculum focuses on building the skills and knowledge needed to produce and sustain positive relationships. It is demonstrated to decrease teen pregnancy and dating violence, as well as increase positive communication and conflict resolution skills.
