I am pleased to announce that the www.loveisrespect.org National Teen Dating Abuse Helpline
This new 24 hour resource utilizes telephone and web-based interactive technology to reach teens and young adults experiencing dating abuse. The Helpline numbers are: (866) 331-9474 and TTY (866) 331-8453. The peer to peer online individual chat function is available from 4 p.m. to midnight and can be accessed from the website at www.loveisrepespect.org.
We are still engaged in updating our database to reflect resources specifically for teens. Please update your data at www.pma.ndvh.org and encourage other providers in your area to do the same.
Also the website will have a brochure for you to download with information about loveisrespect.org and the National Teen Dating Abuse Helpline. Thank you so much for your assistance and support in making the Helpline a reality. Please provide us with feedback in order to ensure that the loveisrespect.org National Teen Dating Abuse Helpline is an effective tool for teens and others seeking information, referrals, and safety planning tips.
Domestic Violence Awareness
Dear Community Member,
There are many ways your organization can help, some of the ideas are:
· Including information regarding Domestic Violence Awareness ;
· Distributing brochures and information regarding available services;
· Inviting a guest speaker from our agency to conduct workshops on this topic which include Bullying 101, Healthy Relationships, Unhealthy Relationships, Stereotypes and Media Violence.
· Allowing our agency to provide an in-service to staff and/or clients on the services that are available.
· Donate your old cell phone in order to provide victims of domestic violence access to 911 in the event of an emergency and to help our agency raise funds that go directly to client services.
If you are interested in participating or have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
