"Domestic and sexual violence end here” is a Life Span motto and an ambitious goal. One way we can make it happen: educating the next generation. Life Span Director of Counseling Laura Valiukenas and Advocate Sasha Solov provided teen dating violence prevention training to a group of older youth. This group, called the “Youth Advisory Board” was recruited by Life Span and our partners at The Network and Illinois Domestic Violence Hotline. Members participated in a focus group, discussing ideas and graphic design to determine how to most effectively raise awareness about teen dating violence.
Stay tuned for info on the roll-out of the campaign in October (Domestic Violence Awareness Month)!
