Relationshapes

Relationshapes will focus on relationships with parents, siblings, teachers and friends. Students will learn the core concepts of social and relationship boundaries, interpersonal skills, and relationship-specific social skills. Students will focus on family and school interactions. Long time DSANV collaborator Beth Henry will continue to teach the class. Relationshapes classes will be offered in person. The program will consist of six classes. The class time will include discussion of each colored circle in our “Circles Map”* and how these circles represent each of us and the people in our lives. We will watch short videos that describe how we develop and define relationships with others at work, home and school. Students will be able role play different social situations. After the role play students will discuss each scenario. The Relationshape Class is based on the Award-Winning Circles Program developed by James Stanfield, Stanfield Publishing Group. The “Circles” program videos explain social relationships in terms of colors and shapes that help us to identify these social relationships in our own lives.
