Pilot Project

Choices for Positive Youth Relationships was piloted in 14 secondary schools in Ontario, British Columbia, Alberta and Nova Scotia. Evaluation data was collected from both youth and educators and analyzed by The Centre for Addictions and Mental Health in Toronto. Students reported that they learned how to be more positive in interpersonal relationships. 89% of the students reported that the program helped them to recognize the warning signs of abuse. In addition, the majority of students felt that the program was effective in helping them choose safe behaviours and help a friend in an abusive relationship.
