Relationships Decoded

Social-Sexual Education for People with Developmental Disabilities

Through funding from the Mental Health Services Act and in partnership with the Department of Developmental Services, we have created a curriculum that is designed to teach people with developmental disabilities how to develop healthy and safe relationships while also giving them information about sexual abuse and coercion. The curriculum supports the use of evidence based practices and is completely free to teachers, therapists, and other professionals.

The mission of this project is to reduce risk factors associated with sexual abuse and to increase protective factors of prosocial behaviors by directly teaching people with disabilities about healthy relationship development.
