/ pccaht / Leave a comment

February is Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month, and we know that teens are vulnerable to intimate partner violence and bullying outside of the home. Learn more about teen dating violence and the resources that are available with our guest Maddy Day, child counselor, at the Center for Family Violence Prevention. Not only does she discuss dating violence among teens, but she also has a nuanced look at prevention and supporting caregivers who may have experienced intimate partner violence themselves. Come talk with us about these hard issues. Let’s normalize the conversations, pull these difficult issues out into the light to obliterate the shame, blame, and secrecy to build a better community for our children and ourselves.

PCBRACE2020 – We’re Talking About #19Days of Prevention of Violence Against Children and Youth

/ pccaht / Leave a comment

19 Days of Prevention of Violence Against Children and Youth begins on Nov. 1 and runs through Nov. 19. During the 19 Days of Prevention, each day addresses an aspect of child abuse. Though this is an international campaign, most of the issues that are addressed each day have a very tangible and real effect in the U.S. and in North Carolina.

The Pitt County Coalition Against Human Trafficking each year to raise awareness, empower caregivers and work toward a state that has a developed sense of compassion for all children.

We are working to raise everyone’s consciousness that these issues are real in NC. October’s PCBRACE202 Podcast focuses on the #19Days campaign.
