Here is the status quo:

• 1 in every 2 females worldwide has been abused during her lifetime.
• 50% of teens in serious relationships say they've gone against their beliefs to please their partner, including going further sexually than they wanted.
• 1 in 5 teens who’ve been in a serious relationship report being hit, slapped or pushed by a partner.
• 3 out of 10 teen girls become pregnant.
• 1 in 3 students drop out of high school.
• 4 in 10 teen boys have a criminal record.

We believe respect is the remedy. When teens’ self-respect—and respect for others—is going strong, anything is possible. They make healthier choices, create respectful relationships, achieve their goals and become leaders who spread respect for all. To make respect the new status quo, we created the Respect: Keep It Going! Kit. Advocates can use the Kit to partner with teens to lead a respect-building program for 6 to 18 weeks. 

During their “Respect Pod” sessions throughout the program, teens learn to:
• use the Respect Basics to build self-respect and make healthy choices
• value themselves
• follow their passions
• set boundaries and speak up
• listen to their gut and compassionately listen to others
• create relationships based on mutual respect
• get help dealing with disrespect dilemmas, such as peer pressure, dating and domestic violence, bullying, negative body image, the “-isms” and other tough issues
• lead social change to create a better world where all people are respected

The program builds on the themes and activities featured in our popular Respect Rally program, which we’ve led for thousands of teen girls and boys around the United States, as well as the award-winning book that I co-authored: RESPECT: A Girl’s Guide to Getting Respect & Dealing When Your Line Is Crossed (Free Spirit Publishing, 2005). After completing just four sessions of our program, teens report notable outcomes: 

• 98% of 500 teens surveyed understood the difference between respect and disrespect (up from 51% prior to the program)
• 90% of teens respected each other as equals (up from 65%)
• 82% felt equipped to make positive choices and act as role models (up from 42%)
• 94% said they feel more comfortable setting boundaries and speaking up (up from 70%)
• 81% said they will get help when they were disrespected or to achieve their goals (up from 42%)

Pod Sessions are:
• delivered during a 6- to 18-week program (your choice!)
• 60-minutes, experiential and include group discussion
• easily shortened, customized to fit within a wider youth development program and require minimal prep and supplies
• designed using the same activity template to create a consistent experience
• written to be led by teens, adults or co-lead

Also included in the Kit:
• evaluation templates and handouts
• membership to the Respect Connect social network, which includes training webinars, videos for Sessions, tips from other Kit users, a digital copy of the Kit and other resources

PRAISE!

"The Respect: Keep It Going! Kit is extraordinary in its ability to provide fun, low-risk exercises to explore some of the most challenging issues teens face. The lessons are easy to teach and they're full of heart. The Kit gets teens' attention right away. I am excited to work with this curriculum!” —Rachel Simmons, founder of he Girls Leadership Institute and author of Odd Girl Out

“Our faculty was trained to use the Respect: Keep It Going! Kit and we’ve have modified the lessons to use in a 6-week ‘Respect Mini-Series’ during our weekly homeroom meetings. We’re planning on implementing lessons in our homerooms every year as part of a school-wide goal to increase respect among our students.” —Amy Gose, guidance counselor, Blessed Trinity Catholic High School in Georgia

"As a result of the Respect Rx programs, many of the teens will be empowered to make changes that will help them develop into strong people who are confident, capable and self-reliant.”—Robert Lehr, Connecticut Association of Schools and Dove Self-Esteem Fund Partner

“Intuitive and organic, the activities were inspiring and incredibly impactful for the teens and adults alike.” —Leanne Gluck, program manager, Girl Scouts of the USA

"After the program, our students saw themselves as agents of change and developed ways to begin spreading respect locally and globally. If Respect Rallies happened at all schools across the nation, our world as a whole would definitely be impacted positively."
—Stephanie Payes, counselor, KIPP San Jose Collegiate
