1 in 4 women will be a victim of domestic abuse in her lifetime. 1 in 7 men will also be abused. Over 3 million children will witness domestic violence, in their homes this year. 1 in 3 adolescents will be a victim of sexual, physical, verbal, or emotional dating abuse.
IT IS TIME TO STOP TURNING OUR HEADS, this is a world-wide problem, and to stop it we need to educate our youth. They need to know that domestic violence is not acceptable. Otherwise, the cycle continues and children think that domestic violence is normal behavior.
Three major teen epidemics: Pregnancy, Alcohol, and Drugs have all declined since 2000. Why is this? We started talking about it, and educating them on the dangers. It is time to do that with domestic abuse.
Our organization is committed to educating our youth, especially teenage boys, that it is not "cool" to control or abuse your girlfriend. The founder of the organization is a male voice, that wants to help one person at a time. As a former athlete, he wants high school athletics to embrace the idea of saying "No More" to domestic abuse.
If you would like to discuss how to have a representative speak to your group, contact us.
Our program is not only set up to talk about domestic violence, there is a call to action to set up a domestic violence awareness group within your school or organization. The program includes survivors sharing their story, a police investigator who specializes in domestic violence sharing some real instances of arriving on the scene.
