Let’s Talk: Runaway Prevention Curriculum
The Let’s Talk: Runaway Prevention Curriculum is a free, evidence-based, interactive, curriculum intended to educate young people about alternatives to running away as well as to build life skills so that youth can resolve problems without resorting to running away or unsafe behavior.
The curriculum can be used in any number of settings, including schools, youth groups, community centers, and after school clubs. Let’s Talk is primarily designed for youth ages 10-20, but can be adapted to other age groups.
Let’s Talk is also designed to be supremely user-friendly for instructors. Each module gives instructors all the necessary information, including worksheets that correspond to each activity, as well as scripts to assist with facilitation of activities.
