Educator Earns Certification to Present National Program on Healthy Dating

Amanda Rolston is now a licensed to present the “Can I Kiss You?” program to middle school and high school students – after attending a two-day training seminar from November 29th to the 30h. This training, hosted by the President and Founder of the Date Safe Project, Mike Domitrz, and the South Dakota Network Against Family Violence and Sexual Assault, enables Amanda Rolston to present this internationally renowned educational program in all local middle and high schools for free.

The “Can I Kiss You?” educational program is evidence based. A third-party research firm conducted a study showing the “Can I Kiss You?” program produces results that are statistically significant. All constructs were researched-based and were found to have strong content and construct validity and high internal and external reliability.

The program is known around the country for helping schools:
– Reduce sexual violence among teens by giving all genders “How-To” skills for making better choices with intimacy, relationships, and respecting boundaries.
– Increase the number of teens who intervene to stop alcohol-facilitated sexual assaults at parties and events.
– Teach teens how to better support classmates and loved ones who may be survivors of sexual assault.
– Slow down the speed at which teenagers often engage in unhealthy relationships and intimacy.

Amanda Rolston is a passionate advocate excited to inspire teens in our local schools on the important tools needed for healthy dating, relationships, respecting boundaries, and supporting survivors. By learning directly from the creator of the program, Mike Domitrz, Amanda Rolston has gained unique and effective skills for connecting with teenagers on issues most adults and educators struggle with sharing with middle school and high school students.
