About this course

Support a wanted dating goal with accessible choices, practical opportunities, and clear professional boundaries.

Designed for recreational therapists and community-based support professionals. Adapt examples to your actual role, preparation, and setting.

What you will learn

  • Start with the adult’s own meaning and requested help.
  • Use the Dating Support Map to examine opportunity, communication, privacy, logistics, and chosen practice.
  • Respond proportionately to a specific concern while preserving the adult’s direction and routing questions beyond your role.

Put the learning to work

Work through Devon’s fictional situation and separate an immediate scam concern from his in-person dating goal.

Course format and time

8 short captioned video lessons, complementary reading, on-page practice, a ten-question knowledge check, and an optional course evaluation. Plan about 60 minutes for the full learning experience, including practice and the quiz. This is a planning estimate; completion time varies.

All practice is on the lesson pages. You may keep your own notes using fictional or general examples without identifying client information.
