“Mind Games,” a play and audience discussion about relationship abuse, is coming to Sherborn’s Community Center on Thursday, April 12, at 7 p.m. This free event is hosted by Every Great Reason Foundation, a Sherborn family’s non-profit.
As parents, we want our kids to make good decisions and to be safe, so we talk to them about drugs, alcohol, sex, and bullying. But a subject likely overlooked is relationship violence and abuse (RVA). Now is the opportunity to learn the warning signs, begin a conversation with your kids, and help them choose healthy versus unhealthy dating relationships in high school, college and beyond.
RVA is the leading cause of injury to women - more than car accidents, muggings and rapes combined.
74 percent of all Americans know someone who is or has been a victim of RVA.
52 percent of college women report knowing a friend who has experienced RVA.
43 percent of dating college women report experiencing violent and abusive dating behaviors.
