It’s an important month! February is Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month. SRDVC is partnering with Create Your Statement and together we are asking you to wear orange on Wednesdays throughout the month of February to raise awareness and show support for Teen Dating Violence Awareness month. By wearing orange, you will be helping us reduce the stigma of unhealthy relationships.
We know that youth as they are impacted by violence, abuse, and trauma. This shows up in their dating relationships. Engaging our youth in this work is an exciting and rewarding way to impact the future of Spokane.
During the month of February, SRDVC is having their first ever Meme Challenge! Youth are encouraged to submit an original meme of what love means to them. We will be choosing 3 winners! Check out our submission website for more details starting February 4th:
We have also partnered with the Spokane Regional Library District. You can find our blog regarding Teen Dating Violence Awareness : https://www.scld.org/helpful-information-awareness-prevention-during-teen-dating-violence-awareness-month/ Please feel free to share!
I also want to take this time to acknowledge our wonderful partner Jenny Moeller, Executive Director of Create Your Statement. Jenny has shared her knowledge regarding TDVAM and we are so grateful for all her help raising awareness for our youth.
If you have any questions about how to support youth you can reach out to Ingrid Rivera at youthcoordinator@srdvc.org. If your agency has additional events or resources, please share so we can pass along to our great Coalition partners.
