Discussion List for campus-based and allied personnel working to end gender-based violence on campus.

["Linda Langford" <>]

Dear Kim,

That's quite an assignment! I think it's very interesting to think about the 
"change model" for an intervention like this. What does the research tell us 
are the skills college students most need to develop? What defines a healthy 
relationship for this stage of life? (i.e., I think there's more research on 
healthy marriages, which may not all apply to dating relationships.) 

Anyway, here are a few resources you might find helpful. This webpage lists a 
number of "Prevention Programs Addressing Youth Dating Violence," some of 
which include "healthy relationship" components: 
http://www.ucalgary.ca/resolve/violenceprevention/English/reviewprog/youthdprogs.htm.
 Although many of the listed programs are designed for younger audiences, 
some of the elements may be adaptable to college students. Each listing 
includes a good description of the program as well as information about the 
program evaluation.

In addition, there's a resilience bibliography here: 
http://www.ncvc.org/ncvc/main.aspx?dbID=DB_Bibliography110 that includes ;
several sections, including general info, interventions, measures, positive 
emotions, PTSD, and theory.

Good luck -- I hope these are helpful.

Best Regards,
Linda

Subject: article/textbook ideas

Hi All!

I have been asked to assist a committee in my division to create a Life 
Skills class for incoming freshman. I have been assigned the section on 
healthy relationships (with peers, romantic partners, roommates, faculty, and 
alcohol), conflict management, and sexual assault risk reduction (broad 
subject matter, I know). I am wondering if anyone has any resources 
(articles, texts, chapters, handouts) for this that are good for incoming 
college students (especially focusing on healthy relationships).  I have been 
told that the articles/text need to be academic in nature so that the faculty 
will approve them.

Thanks for your help!
Kim
