Domestic Violence...

Believe It. Help Change It.




  



              

You can help end domestic violence in Kansas.

Teach Others

 
Prepare future generations to have healthy relationships.

Mentoring Makes a Difference.
If you’re a coach, scout leader, youth sponsor, or any other adult volunteer who comes in regular contact with youth, you make more of an impact on teens than you know.

 

Model Good Relationship Behavior.
Countless studies prove just how powerful “showing” is, versus “telling” – particularly the older a child gets. And children who have positive relationships with an adult are more likely to end up in healthy relationships later on.

 

Impart Some Wisdom About Life.
As a mentor, there will be some moments when you have the chance to impart some wisdom about life. What you say then can make a meaningful difference in how young people treat each other – now and when they become adults.
