YOUTH VIOLENCE PREVENTION WEEK
APRIL 25-29, 2022

National Youth Violence Prevention Week is about highlighting activities and projects that promote kindness and respect, inclusiveness, and the value of looking out for one another to help make our schools and communities safer for everyone.

WHERE ARE YOU ON THE ASSERTIVENESS SCALE?

If we are too passive, we tend to carry around our hurt feelings. If we are too aggressive, we intensify angry feelings that can get out of hand. Assertiveness is about calmly and confidently speaking up for ourselves in a way that helps in our dealings with other people and ability to effectively solve problems.

POWER UP SPEAK OUT

Power Up Speak Out is a program developed in Montana that helps middle school students think critically about healthy relationships, power dynamics, boundaries and consent. Instead of focusing on what not to do, these lessons are about what to do.
