JHS Juniors and Seniors: I am sharing this information about upcoming conference. It may be beneficial for you as you head out from high school and onto life, dating and relationships. I work closely with Leah's Hope, a local non-profit, supporting housing and programming for women with children fleeing domestic abuse. As a fundraising effort and educational component to the OKC community as a whole they put on this event in MWC. I wanted to share it with you to see if there was anyone you know of or any groups that might benefit from this type of event? It is only $10 fee, but provides great resources. I've had several college age girls recently mentioned that they wish someone would have talked to them about what domestic voilence looks like and how to spot it. They mentioned having boyfriends in the past that were verbally abusive or controlling. And they didn't look at it as "bad" because it wasn't physical abuse. I know these kinds of topics are not "fun", but needed for even teenagers AND grown women. Please see the details below and if you have any questions let me know! DETAILS of Forwarded Message: I have attached the updated flyer to this email for your convenience. Registration can be completed by visiting www.tinyurl.com/bestrong24. Additional details: This event is a Domestic Violence Awareness event held during Domestic Violence Awareness Month and exists to educate the community about the different aspects of domestic violence. The conference is $10 per person; includes lunch, a swag bag, and childcare (if needed for children 12 and younger); and is designed for anyone 12 or older. The information presented can help individuals recognize and handle domestic violence in their own lives or for the community they serve. Sessions include - How to Recognize Domestic Violence, How to File a VPO and What that Means, Situational Awareness, What Happens If DHS Gets Involved, and Basic Defensive Tactics. Presenters include Judge Sara Bondurant (Oklahoma County VPO Judge), Darla Cheek (Mid-Del Youth and Family Services), Chris Hicks and Robbie Hicks (Blue Haven Firearms), and Lt. Bradyn Nucci (Midwest City Police Department). Anyone can register now at www.tinyurl.com/bestrong24.
