February News and Updates
This month, we are asking you to Start the Conversation with your kids and teens.
It’s never too early to talk to your child about healthy relationships and dating violence. Starting conversations - even if you don’t think your child is dating - is one of the most important steps you can take to help prevent dating violence!
If you do find that something in their relationship seems questionable, explain that you are concerned for their safety in this relationship. Mention that what is happening is not normal, and that they deserve to have safe and healthy relationships. Offer to connect this teenager to additional support or resources, like a counselor or even Peace House! Be supportive and understanding. Share that you believe them, and offer any non-judgmental support that helps their healing process. Remind them that the unhealthy behaviors that they experienced were not their fault. Make it clear that you don’t blame them and you respect their choices. February 11 is Wear Orange for Teen Dating Violence Awareness Day! To show support for survivors and help spread the message, wear orange, hang orange lights, and let others know why orange is so important on this day! Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month is an opportunity to speak to the young people in our lives about healthy relationships and to show those who have been impacted by teen dating violence that they are not alone. We invite you to follow and share our social media, participate in our social media campaign, and wear orange on February 11 for Teen Dating Violence Awareness Day, and use the resources on this page to help you be an ally this February and all year long! 
Spring Luncheon
We are excited to announce that Lynn Rosenthal is our keynote for this year's luncheon! Lynn is a nationally recognized leader in the movement to end gender-based violence, and was the first White House Advisor on Violence Against Women. As Co-Director of the MOSAIC Initiative at the Battered Women’s Justice Project (BWJP), she advances innovative strategies to prevent and respond to domestic violence, sexual assault, and related harms. 
Drawing on her national level work, Lynn now focuses on strengthening the solutions that matter most—the ones we build together in our own communities, where hope takes root and grows.
