 Me and You

Press here for a printable flyer about this project

The Me and You series is a 5-week course that teaches adults with disabilities about healthy relationships. The series is a partMe and You Instructors of the Respect Yourself program. Each week the instructors talk about a different topic, and use movies, class exercises and role-plays to help show the class how to have healthy relationships.

This series is great for anyone with a disability over the age of 18 who wants to learn how to have healthy relationships with everyone from strangers to staff and true friends to romantic partners. To do this, the class learns about privacy and boundaries, self-esteem, and different types of relationships they may have in their lives. Respect Yourself is the next series you can take to learn even more about relationships and your own body.

The Me and You series is open to both men and women. The series can be held at sites such as self-advocacy groups, care homes, day programs and work centers. They also offer community series in Redding and Chico that are open to anyone in the community with a disability. The Respect Yourself program can travel to any of the 9 counties served by Far Northern Regional Center.
