We had an awesome time talking to the teens at EPIC Academy on 10/28/13. The panelists shared their testimonies of personal experiences with domestic violence, the panelists also discussed several important warning signs as it relates to teen dating violence and opened the discussion, for their questions.
Although domestic violence happens in our communities often, it doesn't have to if we continue to educate ourselves as well as others and no matter the age to began the dialogue.
The teens are honoring the observance of October for Breast Cancer Awareness Month and Domestic Violence Awareness Month, by selling the ribbons in the far right, bottom corner. Some of the proceeds will go towards A New Me Foundation, Inc. to help continue providing FREE services to the clients they serve.
We are proud of these young ladies for learning about domestic violence and going out in the community to BREAK THE SILENCE and help end violence against women and their children.
