The Healthy Adolescent Research Project (HARP)
|
More about HARP
Funded by the National Institute of Justice and DU,
HARP tests two programs designed to help
teen girls (ages 12-19) who have come to the
attention of the child welfare system learn
about healthy relationships. Program 1 taught teen
girls about: power in relationship violence; skills
to build healthy relationships; and social
influences on violence (e.g., media messages).
Program 2 taught teen girls about: safety in
relationships, including how to recognize and
respond to internal (e.g., her own emotions) and
external (e.g., emotions, behaviors in others)
signals about safety. Both programs were delivered
in small groups and led by two graduate-level
facilitators.
We are currently
finished with data collection. Stay tuned for
study results!
