Midday Interview: Resource fair for ‘Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month'
COLUMBUS, Ga. () — Hope Harbour and the Department of Juvenile Justice are partnering up to hold a resource fair and assembly for 'Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month.'
'Let's Talk About It' is scheduled for Tuesday, Feb. 20 at the Carver High School Auditorium from 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. The assembly is aiming to shine a spotlight on the issue of dating violence in teens.
According to Hope Harbour, Columbus holds the highest numbers in the state of Georgia for juvenile probation. The organization says many of those cases stem from dating-related violence.
Youth, parents, teachers, community leaders, and concerned citizens are all encouraged to attend.
Hope Harbour Resource Development and Marketing Manager Monica Luker stopped by the studio on Thursday to tell us about the event. You can watch the interview in the video player above.
