Helps young adults recognize signs that indicate problems, based mainly in self-esteem, often associated with male violence toward women. Although the problems are usually seen as being based in sexual coercion, this program shows that there is something deeper at work here. While extreme behavior (male violence/female victim) seems to be learned from family situations, RIGHT FROM THE START offers hope of overcoming the roots of the problem to both genders. Males must recognize that this aggressive behavior towards females often ends in violence and is no more than a blatant power display. Females see that they must recognize this behavior for what it is, and be prepared to take action and protect themselves by not tolerating it and removing themselves. Peer pressure and development of self esteem can play a significant role for both sexes in stopping this problem. *Includes Guide
