Topc: Healthy Relationships
Thursday, February 23rd, 6:00pm
Please join us for a training and discussion on healthy relationships, dating violence, and domestic violence. This training, facilitated by staff from the YWCA of Nashville and Middle Tennessee, will help you identify those who may be affected by domestic violence and provide you with the tools to mentor a child exposed to violence in ways that promote healing. We are also excited to announce that the YWCA will be hosting two match activities, one for boys and one for girls, later this spring or early summer – these will be opportunities for you and your Little to come together to learn about healthy relationships and dating violence in a fun and interactive way! Those dates have yet to be determined but will be announced soon! Click here to RSVP.
All trainings will be held at our office, located at 1704 Charlotte Avenue, Nashville, TN 37203.
