Guardian
Curriculum
The Guardian Project is based on the principles
of the Mpowerment Program,
a Diffusion of Effective Behavioral Intervention (DEBI) supported
by the Centers for Disease Control. Mpowerment is recognized
as an empirically based program that is proven to help reduce
risk behavior among Men Who Have Sex with Men (MSM). The Guardian
Curriculum is designed with these principles in mind, as well
as to meet the requirements of our local RPG (HIV/STD Regional
Planning Group). At each Guardian Mpowerment Social Discussion
Group, we discuss a
co-factor that contributes to risk behavior. The Guardian Curriculum
expands on the Mpowerment Mgroup
design, using peer-led 2-3 hour meetings to discuss these factors
and utilizes skills-building experiential exercises, such as
condom negotiation role-plays, condom demonstration teach-backs,
etc.
Please feel free to use this curriculum, and adapt them to your
needs, but credit must be given to Project ARK and the Guardian
Project for the original development.
