Teaching Young Kids the Value of Healthy Relationships

Juli Harpell-Elam, MA, LPC, JBWS Coordinator of Project Prevention

Parents and caregivers can help children avoid hurtful and abusive teen dating relationships by starting early. This presentation will explore everyday situations (including examples in the media, over the internet, in school, and in the home) as opportunities for age-appropriate discussions and skill development to prevent abuse. These practical guidelines can become part of everyday interactions with children and put them on the path to safe and healthy relationships.

Helping Teens Avoid Hurtful Relationships

Regina Braham, MSW, JBWS Director of Community Relations

Dating abuse prevention is an important issue for anyone who is close to young people. Studies show an estimated one in three teens is involved in an abusive relationship. Learn how you can recognize the early warning signs of control and abuse in a relationship and how to approach those involved.

HEART TO HEART

How to Talk with Someone When You Suspect Abuse

Regina Braham, MSW, JBWS Director of Community Relations

Thirty percent of Americans say they know a woman who has been physically abused by a husband or boyfriend. Few experiences are more frightening and worrisome than believing that your friend or family member may be a victim of abuse. If you think someone you know is being abused, the first step is to educate yourself about the dynamics of domestic violence

NOT FOR WOMEN ONLY

Engaging Men in Preventing Domestic and Dating Violence

Daniel Martinez, M. Div., Coordinator of Jersey Center for Non-violence

Juli Harpell-Elam, MA,LPC, JBWS Coordinator of Project Prevention

This presentation focuses on men as “the solution” rather than “the problem.” Men can play a vital part in the prevention of domestic and dating abuse by acting as positive role models for other men and boys; advocating for healthy relationships; and joining with women and girls to educate the community.
