Luke & Kasey Ramirez with California Senator Kehoe
Vice President Biden's Statement on
Teen Dating Violence Awareness and Prevention Month.
"After fifteen years of working to end domestic violence, we have learned that teens are not immune from abuse in relationships. Teen dating violence is all too common, and ends up leading to vicious and unhealthy cycles for years to come. Our responsibility - as parents, teachers, mentors, and community leaders - is to guide our young people towards respectful relationships free from harassment and abuse; teach them that it's ok to walk away from a bad situation; and encourage them to speak out when they see a friend in trouble. In many communities, teens themselves are leading the way in organizing their schools and communities to stand against violence. I commend them."

Awareness and Prevention Campaigns are created by the Operation for HOPE Foundation in partnership with an organization or agency in the prevention and awareness of relationship violence and in providing information about how to access resources in a given community. “Been Hurt. We Can Help.” The focus and expectation of each campaign is to “grab the attention” of a local community, State, or the Nation and to provide important information about seeking services. Awareness and Prevention Campaigns are creating National Awareness about relationship violence and providing information about how to break cycles of violence.
11” x17” posters are distributed and displayed at business storefronts, lobbies of non-profit organizations, libraries, hospitals, bus stops, schools, coffee shops, churches, synagogues, and at many other locations. Posters are not sold but rather freely distributed to create awareness in the prevention of violence. If you’re a business owner, a community partner or the neighbor next door, we need your help distributing posters in the community. Together we can strive to help stop and break cycles of violence. For more information about creating an Awareness & Prevention Poster Campaign or to support efforts, please contactOperation for HOPE Foundation.
