Ladies and girls, I’m excited to announce the FIRST COMMUNITY TALK for Tulsa!
Community Talks are educational, interactive talks about pressing cultural issues of the day,
open to all teen girls, young ladies and the women who care about them.
Teen girls, college girls, moms, teachers, youth workers YOU are invited!
Let’s start the conversation, together.
Thursday, February 28, 2013 from 6:30-9:30pm
February is National Dating Violence Awareness Month.
“Wait. Violence awareness? That doesn’t apply to me!”
Well, come anyway. 1 in 3 adolescents in the U.S. is a victim of physical, sexual, emotional or verbal abuse from a dating partner. 1 in 4 of 18-25 yr olds have experienced physical violence. According to www.ocadvsa.org, the rate of dating violence for Oklahoma 9th graders is more than 3 times the national average, at a rate of 26% for OK freshmen.
Hear my friend tell her REAL LIFE story of how she got out of an abusive dating relationship.
Discover early warning signs of unhealthy relationships.
At 8, the Lifetime movie, Reviving Ophelia, will be shown, which covers this topic well from many angles & provides great discussion from a fictional high school storyline.
February Venue: Believer’s Church, 4705 S. Memorial Tulsa OK
6:30pm - 9:30pm. This event is free!
Let’s start the conversation, together.
