>> That Jason.
What was his deal today?
>> He [inaudible] and borrowed my notes for science.
>> Seriously?
Why does he care?
And what's the deal with him always telling you what to wear
and making you text him all the time?
>> I don't know.
He's jealous I guess.
I think it's sweet.
>> Well, are you going to answer him?
>> He wants to come over.
My mom doesn't like guys coming over when she's not home.
What should I say?
>> No, we have to study.
>> But he gets really mad.
How about we just talk outside for a few minutes?
>> Girl, your phone is blowing up.
Tell him to chill out.
What are you doing, anyway?
>> Trying to [inaudible].
[ Phone Vibrating and Ringing ]
Hi, are you okay?
I'm sorry.
>> Seriously.
You're apologizing to him?
He needs to leave you alone.
>> Jason, I told you he was just borrowing my notes.
I swear I don't like him.
I have to study, can I call you later?
No, my mom will be mad if you come over.
I was just showing [inaudible] my new outfits.
They're super cute.
Okay, I promise.
I will, I will.
No, I didn't mean that.
I'm sorry.
Please don't be mad at me.
Okay. You too.
>> Are you okay?
Is he coming over?
>> I can't even focus right now.
I'm totally going to fail this test.

>> What you just saw was a pretty stressful situation
for Pria at a time when she's supposed to be studying.
Instead, her boyfriend Jason is harassing her.
He's displaying signs of jealousy and control
that aren't characteristic of a healthy relationship
but are rather a form of abuse.
And they're sending Pria into a tailspin.
After participating in Dating Matters, Pria should be able
to recognize these behaviors as warning signs, and will know how
to respond in a way that sets limits to help keep her safe.
Pria's boyfriend Jason and her friend Rachel can also benefit
from Dating Matters.
After participating in the program, Jason should realize
that his behaviors are not respectful or healthy.
And the way he is handling his anger is abusive
and unacceptable.
Rachel will also learn skills
to effectively help a friend in need.
This module is designed to prepare you to be a facilitator
for the Dating Matters youth programs.
In this training, we'll share highlights of the sixth
and seventh grade programs
and also show you some classroom sessions and action.
Your facilitator guides provide further details
about the programs as well as in-depth information
to help guide you through each session.
As a facilitator for the Dating Matters youth programs,
you will play one of the most important roles in the program.
Because you'll be working directly
with young teens during a critical time in their lives.
Kids in middle school are entering a curious, vulnerable,
and often insecure time.
They have raging hormones,
they're experiencing changes in their bodies.
They're testing boundaries.
And believe it or not, most of them are starting
to think about dating.
And some are actually dating.
This is the perfect age for them to learn what healthy,
safe relationships look, sound,
and feel like so they can prevent dangerous relationship
behaviors from starting.
When kids are supported by healthy
and positive relationships,
their emotional development thrives.
But when they experience unhealthy, abusive,
or violent ones, the consequences can be severe
and cause lifelong damage.
Exposure to violence has been linked to increases
in depression, anxiety,
substance abuse, and even suicide.
As you already know from completing the intro module
of this training, CDC created Dating Matters
as a direct response to increasing awareness
of teen dating violence.
