Eudora Workshops Focus on Youth

Youth abusive relationships In Their Shoes
 
The Willow Domestic Violence Center and United Way of Kaw Valley's Eudora Community Navigation present the "In Their Shoes" workshop. 
  • Saturday, February 10, 2024  
  • 9am-Noon 
  • 1310 Winchester Rd., Eudora, KS 66025
  • Free, and you do not need to register. 
Please join Eudora Community Navigation and The Willow Domestic Violence Center in striving to create a world where everyone experiences healthy, loving, and safe relationships; where we all have a role to play. While the In Their Shoes experience takes participants through the experiences of individuals in abusive relationships, it is our hope that by elevating the experiences of survivors, we start the conversation not only about what we don’t want in relationships, but what we do. The activity gives participants the opportunity to practice interrupting abusive behavior they are part of or witness and acknowledge the way in which people we love cause harm. We welcome youth AND adults to this event, as we all benefit from prevention-focused education.
