Unmasking Sexual Con Games - Leader’s Guide

Helping Teens Avoid Emotional Grooming and Dating Violence

Identify distorted thinking and language cons
Understand the 12 steps of physical closeness
Practice good friendship and dating skills.
Combat sexual harassment
Avoid intimidation and dating violence
