Throughout the month of February, Sarah’s Inn’s Prevention Team and Youth Committee are working to raise awareness around the realities of teen dating violence and promoting healthy relationships by educating youth, their families, and communities. On February 10 and 11, Sarah’s Inn will be hosting a two-part virtual panel series for parents and teenagers to have a candid conversation that focuses on what dating looks like for teens today, dating violence, and how the media can influence our understanding of what relationships look like. Panelists will include Sarah’s Inn staff and community partners who will answer your questions on teen dating. Advance registration required and can be completed at sarahsinn.org. Additionally, in February Sarah’s Inn is launching the Youth Voice Award. Youth have a voice. We want to hear it. High school students are encouraged to submit a song, dance, video, poem, essay, artwork, or other form of expression to show their ideas, experiences, and thoughts around relationship violence. All submissions are due on March 15, 2021. Additional information can be found at sarahsinn.org.
