Relationships and Romance for Teens
Relationship Smarts PLUS 5.1 CSE is a 13-lesson evidence-based relationship skills curriculum for young teens (ages 12-16). The curriculum integrates positive youth development, life skills, healthy relationships, dating violence prevention, and pregnancy prevention in a comprehensive healthy relationship skills program. It is designed to help teens learn how to make wise choices about relationships, dating, partners, sex, and more.
Updated in Spring 2025, this version includes the most recent YBRS stats along with existing topics important to today’s youth, such as sex trafficking prevention, technology in relationships, navigating relationships in the digital age, online porn, sexual assault, consent—and their impact on relationships.
Relationship Smarts PLUS 5.1 CSE aligns with all Executive Orders on DEI and gender. TPP grantees serving youth 18 and above may use Relationship Smarts PLUS 5.1 CSE. If you are not using federal funding to implement Relationship Smarts PLUS and do not need an SRA version, we recommend Relationship Smarts PLUS 5.0 Classic.
