GUTS! is BUILDING STRONG FRIENDSHIPS!

📌 GUTS! with YWCA Missoula is funded as a youth program for prevention against Intimate Partner Violence (IPV).

The National Center for Injury Prevention and Control, Division of Violence Prevention states, "Promoting healthy, respectful, and nonviolent relationships and communities can help reduce the occurrence of IPV. It also can prevent the harmful and long-lasting effects of IPV on individuals, families, and communities".

GUTS! programming focuses on building a safe and fun environment for kids to be themselves and have the opportunity to build new or enhance existing connections. GUTS! Curriculum is also designed to explore working through healthy conflict and cultivating empathy which strengthens friendships and interpersonal skills.
