This handbook is intended as basic information and practical tool pack for ambassadors of the Love and Respect project. But it will be useful for any other peer educators talking to teens experiencing difficulties, especially experiencing teen dating violence. Through practical examples of what to say and how to react to specific situations on one hand, and what is best to avoid, on the other hand, it should help peer educators to navigate teens towards professional help, support them and make them feel welcome and safe.

As an educator, mentor and role model to students, you can play a critical role in shaping the next generation’s attitudes and behaviors. Educators have the ability to help young people better understand healthy relationships and learn to recognize the signs of an unhealthy or abusive relationship. By leveraging classroom discussion, special projects and modeling the appropriate behaviors through words and actions, you can have a tremendous impact on how students grow to understand and appreciate safe, healthy and respectful relationships.
Love is Respect initiative created the toolkits on this page to provide guidance to middle school and high school educators who want to lead these discussions in their schools. These toolkits can be used on their own or as a supplement to a larger curriculum. It is our hope that you will feel free to use these guides because we believe that education is the key to preventing and end domestic violence and dating abuse.

This manual is one of the main outputs of project Ambassadors of Love and Respect, which focused on involving volunteers as peer educators in the prevention activities of Love and Respect project.
The manual summarizes how to involve volunteers as peer educators in the prevention activities, what are the advantages or risks of it. It also provides theoretical and practical tips for peers on how to recognize teen dating violence or how to effectively communicate with someone experiencing it.
Therefore, the manual should be useful for anyone considering involving peer educators in their activities or for those who already do that, since it summarizes our lessons learned or dilemmas we faced during our project.
