This event is co-sponsored by Council Member Desley Brooks, District #6, and supported by the City of Oakland.
The participants will have the opportunity to hear and read real TDV stories/scenarios, view clips from the powerful and informative Real Talk DVD, participate in discussions regarding teen dating violence and its impact on their young lives, ask questions and receive answers from our panelist speakers, have the opportunity to participate in our poster art contest, AND receive FREE GIVEAWAYS! Please join us in this national effort to raise awareness regarding teen dating violence and abuse during this month of February. Please pass this information along to any of your contacts, and/or teens that you know may benefit from this extremely valuable and informative town-hall session.
