Feb 14th 2011- I recruited multiple schools in our area to participate in the national teen dating violence awareness announcement. The national campaign lead by breakthecycle.org had the schools read the following announcement.February 14 announcement
One in three teens in the United States is a victim of physical, emotional or sexual abuse from someone they date. Look around you. That means that one out of every three students in your class is likely to experience this abuse.This February let your heart rule, as we honor Teen Dating Violence Prevention and Awareness Month. To learn about dating abuse or get help, call the National Dating Abuse Helpline 1-866-331-9474 or visit loveisrespect.org. And remember, love has many definitions: abuse isn't one of them.
