Dear Senior Parents / Guardians,

Please note the following information was sent to the senior class in regards to participating in an upcoming workshop.

Thank you,

Hello Ladies,
 
94% of us will never perpetrate violence against our partner, yet 1 in 3 women and 1 in 4 men are in a violent relationship in his or her lifetime because we stay silent about this issue.
 
You will be participating in a workshop called The Escalation Workshop with the senior class from University of Detroit Jesuit. The Escalation Workshop will take place on
Monday, March 11, 9:00 - 11:30 a.m. You will attend class 1st hour, assemble in the Gym immediately after 1st hour, and join your 4th hour class once the workshop has ended. The workshop consists of an introduction and video that all of you will view together and then small group discussions facilitated by your peers, who have been trained by One Love.

One Love,  joinonelove.org, is a foundation that operates through a multi-layered education, awareness and movement-building campaign that surrounds young people with messages about healthy and unhealthy relationships. The Escalation Workshop is one of the workshops offered by One Love. Mercy and U of D have partnered to provide this experience to our young women and men to equip you with the necessary tools to navigate relationships as you transition to college.
