Have you started your preparations for Teen DV Month? To help everyone get ready for February, the Partnership will be covering everything you need to know about 2018’s Teen DV Month Campaign. We will be discussing this year’s theme, sharing resources, and how best to utilize social media in your campaigns!

Presenter:
Jessica Merrill is the Communications Manager at the California Partnership to End Domestic Violence (the Partnership). Her goal is to create a rich, engaging dialogue across California to increase knowledge of domestic violence as a public health crisis–and to promote comprehensive solutions that everyone can participate in. By providing communications tools to the Partnership’s member programs and all Californians, she works to shift social norms that contribute to domestic violence through social and traditional media advocacy.

As discussed during the webinar, we would like to share the following articles with everyone.

This one would be great to send to local education policymakers/other educators. - https://edsource.org/2017/new-poll-safe-and-positive-school-environment-more-important-than-higher-test-scores/588330

This one could be a general share-out with social media, and/or a targeted email to generate support from parents.
