Lessons are designed to empower students to recognize and report suspected cases of abuse without fear of retaliation.   In addition, embedded in the MCPS elementary and secondary health curriculum are age-appropriate lessons on safety and injury prevention, family life and human sexuality, cyberbullying and social media, healthy relationships, harassment and intimidation. In addition, MCPS partners with the Montgomery County Family Justice Foundation and youth service providers in sponsoring the annual “Choose Respect Montgomery” conference for students to learn about healthy teen relationships, teen dating violence prevention, and where to get help. The lessons were  developed with input from national stakeholders and County partners.
