ADMYRE: Advocating for My Relationships includes a simulation where students walk through one of eight true short stories which is followed up by a robust debrief where students are empowered to use resources and promote healthy relationships in their own lives. We encourage you to have a school counselor present for students in case they feel the need to talk to someone about what they experience during the program.

  • Request a visit from the PIAL team to present the MS or HS program for an in-person presentation in Iowa.
  • Request a link to the one-hour online MS or HS program.
  • Request the ADMYRE Kit which provides almost everything you need to present ADMYRE on your own including access to digital files.
  • Request the ADMYRE Spanish Add-on Kit including one MS story and one HS story in Spanish and other Spanish materials.

The following is a list of what we need to create the best experience at your school:

  • A room for the simulation large enough to allow groups of students to walk around to 12 stations on the perimeter of the room
  • 6 tables large enough to allow for 5 students per table
  • A minimum of 90 minutes to complete the simulation
  • A maximum of 30 students per session
  • Access to a projector or digital screen
  • Please provide the necessary information by clicking on the "Request ADMYRE in Iowa" button. This information will help us best accommodate your needs.
