"A month of light, snow and feasts;

time to make amends and tie loose ends;

finish off what you started and hope your wishes come true."

Free Domestic Violence 101 and Safe Dates Training for Middle and High School Students!

Safe Dates is the only evidence-based curriculum that prevents dating abuse: a factor often linked to alcohol and other drug use.

Highly engaging and interactive, Safe Dates helps teens recognize the difference between caring, supportive relationships and controlling, manipulative, or abusive dating relationships. Designated as a Model Program by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.

I'll also be doing community education as well as volunteer recruiting. If you or those you know are interested, please contact Amanda Wyneken at Families First Indiana.
