We were thrilled to be featured in the Spokesman Review’s article “Teaching Teens About Dating Abuse.” The article highlighted the exact reason we exist – to stop the cycle of domestic violence before it starts. Here’s an excerpt from the article:

Dating abuse among teens isn’t talked about much. Jenny Moeller wants to change that.

It’s a problem. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, among high school students who dated, 21 percent of girls and 10 percent of boys experienced physical and/or sexual dating violence. Other groups estimate 1 in 3 teens experience abuse ranging from verbal to physical harm.

Moeller, founder of the Spokane group Create Your Statement, has built curriculum since 2013 for teaching teenagers how to recognize danger signs and empower them to avoid unhealthy relationships.

We are excited to introduce Terra Nicholson who has been involved with co-leading young moms from two pregnancy crisis centers, Grace Son, and Life Services. She has been instrumental in providing positive impact through the REDFLAG program as well as her personal passion and heart for those she serves.

Terra is currently instructing her own REDFLAG class of over 20 young ladies from Northwood and Glover middle schools. She is a valued facilitator for our Spokane programming and we are honored to have her as part of our team.

“I am so excited to be a youth mentor with Create Your Statement! Having been a victim of domestic violence in the past, I am passionate about teaching these beautiful girls the REDFLAG program to help them learn how to identify unhealthy relationships and how to follow their dreams and become the young women God created them to be!”
