Our Education - One Love Foundation

OUR PROGRAM

One Love's workshops inspire young people to recognize and talk about an issue that affects everyone. In a world where emotionally unhealthy and abusive behaviors have become the norm, young people not only need, but are hungry for, knowledge that helps them build healthy ones.

Our evidence-based curriculum teaches young people how to identify – and to know what to do when they see – the signs of an unhealthy relationship in their own or their friends’ lives. These seven learning objectives summarize the skills and beliefs that are key to positively changing relationship behavior:

Access resources when in need

To get support, you need to know who to turn to – parents, trusted adult, professionals, peers – and be willing to reach out, even when it might be uncomfortable.

Know the signs and spot the signs

Understand the 10 Signs of a Healthy and Unhealthy Relationship and be able to recognize them in your life and in the relationships around you.

Engage in conversations about healthy  and unhealthy relationships

To change the norms around relationship health, we need to go beyond recognizing the healthy and unhealthy relationship behaviors we see around us and begin talking about them with others.

Practice healthy relationship behaviors

Everyone deserves to be in healthy relationships. This means (1) live the 10 Signs of a Healthy Relationship, (2) set expectations for what we deserve in a relationship, and (3) build a healthy relationship with ourselves.

Communicate boundaries and  practice consent

Setting and respecting boundaries of all types - physical, digital, emotional - are central to a healthy relationship.

Help a friend in an unhealthy relationship

To effectively help our friends, we need to recognize when they are experiencing or engaging in unhealthy behaviors, have the courage to have the conversation, and knowledge of how to do so safely.

Navigate endings

Understanding when and how to end a relationship requires thoughtful decision-making under stressful circumstancing, even more so when the relationship might be dangerous and there is a need for safety planning.

One Love’s interactive skills-based workshops create opportunities for participants to practice the language of healthy and unhealthy relationships, actively explore and express their ideas with peers, and to reflect on their experiences. One Love’s workshops often utilize compelling, relatable films that allow participants to explore the complicated dynamics of relationships.

Student Testimonials

“After learning about this topic, I feel confident to be able to classify if a relationship is healthy or not and how to approach someone who may be in an unhealthy relationship. I think being able to educate others on this topic is what the world needs and I’m glad that One Love has dedicated their organization to fulfill that.”

Facilitator Testimonials

“One Love workshops are SO impactful! They create a space for students to have discussions on topics that no one is having yet everyone is at some point in their life involved in. With nearly 100% feedback from students that this is an important topic to learn about and discuss, the ease of the facilitator platform has allowed for me to tailor the experience based on time and maturity level of the grades.”

Alexis, Mental Health Therapist

“Facilitating One Love workshops has afforded me the opportunity to expand in my community with young people. It has been a vehicle for self-development, enlightenment, and vulnerable storytelling. Through facilitating my first workshop, Behind the Post, I have gained comfort in speaking to groups, owning my narrative, and sharing authentically with others.”
