Our group first saw this video at the seminar on the 12th. (See below blogpost) We thought it was funny, but also really accurate in a lot of ways. Check it out--it's just a minute long. :)

Talking to Teens About Healthy Relationships
Date: Jan 12, 2012
Location: 40 North Bridge Street, Somerville, NJ
MASK attended a seminar tonight on teen dating violence. It was a workshop geared toward parents and health professionals. It covered what one needed to know about the subject to talk to their teenagers.
The seminar was run by Shannon Evans, MSW, LCSW at the Women's Health & Counseling Center. 18 MASK members and a few of our parents made it to this event. It was an amazing group-building and educational experience. Shannon did a wonderful job of keeping discussion flowing and allowing plenty of opportunity for Q&A and interactive audience participation.
After asking a few of the members if they would attend another similar seminar in the future their responses were very positive- "Absolutely" and saying it was "fun and beneficial to the work we are doing" feeling it "helped them a lot."
MASK has been meeting every week working on our presentations for classroom sized audiences. We want to begin these presentations in February (Appropriately, for Teen Dating Violence Awareness and Prevention Month). Attending amazing seminars like this one tonight are very helpful to meeting this deadline and increasing the effectiveness of our presentation's influence.
Hope you have a wonderful long weekend, everyone.
And please please comment or email us if you have any stories, comments, questions you want to share with us. Or if you need info on how to get involved and/or educated in the subject for yourself!
Peace&Love
