Tools for a Teen in a Relationship

With a grant from the Department of Health and Human Services, Auburn researcher Jennifer Kerpelman created an innovative series of online learning modules that help teens gain successful coping skills.  Her curriculum’s been tested in high schools for over five years and is proven to improve students’ abilities to resolve conflict.
