Building Healthy Relationships (BHR) is a program through Center for Survivors that provides an educational curriculum targeting middle and high school students. BHR helps teens define and identify healthy and unhealthy relationships. The program is designed to help teens know how and where to get help if they or someone they know is or has experienced dating violence or sexual assault.

The Center partners with middle and high schools to provide 10-12 week sessions, but can be tailored depending on the availability of the school. The curriculum is evidence-based, and defines healthy relationships, dating violence, sexual assault, and healthy communication skills. Advocates who facilitate BHR classes also work with students who are victims of abuse and provide crisis intervention services as needed.

BHR is available to any school in our service area, including Boone, Butler, Colfax, Nance, Polk, and Platte counties. If your school is interested in programming, please contact Center for Survivors at (402) 564-2155 and ask for Traci.

If you are a victim of abuse and need help, contact Center for Survivors directly by phone or in person. Individuals are also referred to us for services by law enforcement, Health and Human Services, and other community service organizations. Center for Survivors advocates are available to help you with free and confidential services!
