Dear Community Partner, Nearly 1.5 million high school students throughout the nation experience physical abuse from a dating partner in a single year. Only 33% of teens who were in a violent relationship ever told anyone about the abuse. We know change happens when there is collective power. Therefore, in honor of Sexual Assault Awareness Month and its correlation and intersection with Teen Dating Violence, The Healing Center and our partners invite you to our 4th Annual NYC Teen Dating Violence Awareness Walkathon on Saturday, April 18, 2015! We walk to raise awareness and shatter the stigmas around an issue affecting 1 in 3 teens.
