Texas Association of Student Councils
2024-2025 TASC State Service Project

The Why -
• Half of the nation’s youth experience unhealthy or abusive relationships.
• It contributes to the student’s sense of security within the school environment.
• It helps students recognize toxic behaviors and form healthy boundaries in familial, romantic, platonic, and teacher/
staff relationships.
• It encourages students to form bonds with people they can rely on and confide in to create a safer environment.
• It allows healthy relationship values/dynamics to be projected into the community within and outside the school.
• It helps community members recover from domestic violence and unhealthy relationships.

Goals -
1. Grow in self-love by embracing your own individuality and uniqueness to allow for you to understand how to love others and what love you will accept from others.
a. Grow by implementing projects that support individual emotional needs (focusing on self-care, and building self-worth).
2. Educate on healthy relationships including boundaries and respect.
a. Teach everyone what a balanced, loving, interpersonal relationship should look like.
b. Communicate this message to your student body and community to raise awareness.
3. Advocate for yourself and others to help break the cycle of unhealthy relationship dynamics.
a. Support those transitioning to healthier relationships and recovering from the negative repercussions of abusive behavior.
b. Promote domestic violence prevention and awareness programs.
