Students at Alakaʻi and Chiefess Middle Schools showed measurable growth in relationship literacy after completing all four RLP modules with Boys to Men mentors.
In just one quarter, students across two Hawaiʻi middle schools showed measurable growth in safety awareness, emotional regulation, and healthy relationship skills.
Boys navigating peer pressure, conflict, and emotional stress without the tools to recognize unhealthy patterns, manage strong feelings, or know when and how to ask for help.
Boys recognizing red flags, managing stress, setting boundaries, supporting friends safely, and applying program language during sports, free play, and everyday peer interactions.
Measured outcomes from the Q1 2026 program cycle:

A complete, research-informed curriculum delivered through self-paced online modules and reinforced by trained mentors. All four modules are online and ready for your school today.
Students explore what makes relationships healthy or unhealthy, build emotional self-awareness, and learn to recognize the patterns that shape their friendships.
Students learn to recognize red flags, set and respect boundaries, develop safety plans, and know when and how to support a friend or ask for help.
Students build skills in stress management, emotional regulation, and self-control — practicing the tools that help them stay calm, think clearly, and respond rather than react.
Students apply everything they've learned — communication, accountability, trust repair, and mutual support — to build stronger, healthier, more resilient relationships.
Online learning is paired with the relational structure of trained mentors who guide discussion, model the skills, and help students apply lessons to real life.
Pre/post assessments track student growth in safety judgment, emotional regulation, accountability, and relational repair — giving schools clear data on impact.

— Direct reflections from RLP students, Q1 2026
Real answers about the Relationship Literacy Program — how it works, what results to expect, and how to bring it to your school.
The Relationship Literacy Program (RLP) is a research-informed curriculum designed specifically for middle school students. It combines four online learning modules with in-person mentorship to teach practical skills in emotional awareness, healthy communication, conflict resolution, and violence prevention.
RLP is currently delivered in partnership with the Boys to Men mentorship model, where trained mentors guide students through the curriculum and help them apply lessons to real-life situations.
The program consists of four self-paced online modules that students can complete at school or at home. Each module builds on the previous one, creating a complete pathway from self-awareness to healthy relationship skills.
The online work is reinforced through regular mentorship sessions — typically weekly or bi-weekly group discussions led by trained mentors. Schools can adapt the schedule to fit their existing advisory periods, homeroom blocks, or after-school programs.
In our most recent program cycle (Q1 2026) at Alakaʻi Middle School and Chiefess Middle School in Hawaiʻi, students showed measurable, pre/post-assessed growth:
These gains were measured using pre- and post-program assessments administered to students across both schools.
Yes. All four RLP modules are fully online and ready for immediate use:
Each module is video-based, interactive, and designed for middle school comprehension levels. Students can log in from any device with internet access — at school, at home, or both.
RLP uses a blended delivery model:
RLP provides mentor training and discussion guides so facilitators are equipped to lead safe, productive conversations. The curriculum itself does the teaching; mentors do the reinforcing.
RLP is built for middle school students (grades 6–8). The language, scenarios, pacing, and assessments are all calibrated for early adolescent comprehension and social development.
The current Q1 2026 pilot focused on boys through the Boys to Men partnership, but the curriculum content is designed to be adaptable for co-ed and all-girl middle school groups as the program expands.
Pricing is structured to fit a range of school budgets and implementation sizes. RLP works with each school or district to find a structure that works — whether that's a per-student license, a site-wide annual subscription, or a pilot program rate for first-time partners.
Because the curriculum is fully digital, there are no printing or shipping costs. The main investment is in mentor facilitation time, which many schools cover through existing counseling or advisory staff.
The most recent program cycle was delivered at two middle schools in Hawaiʻi:
Both schools used the full four-module curriculum paired with Boys to Men mentorship. The results from these pilots form the foundation for the national rollout Brian is leading.
We'd love to talk through how RLP fits your school's SEL goals, schedule, and student population.
