Project Respect

Project Respect is a 6-session sexual assault prevention curriculum targeting youth between the ages of 12 and 18. The goal of the program is to reduce the likelihood that youth will become victims or perpetrators of sexual assault. The program is offered in English and Spanish and provides information on Michigan’s criminal sexual conduct law, myths and facts about sexual assault, the link between sexual assault and substance abuse, strategies to prevent sexual assault and community resources. Classes are implemented by health educators from KCHD or by trained community facilitators.
