Domestic Violence

Winnetka YWCA came into school last week to talk about relationship safety to our students. When surveyed at the beginning of the year this topic was one of the top 5 topics about which our students wished to learn more. Among the resources that our guests shared was this great website.
They also informed us of the National Dating Abuse Hotline number 866-331-9474 and also the YWCA Crisis Line (24 hour) 877-718-1868.
In the TED video link shown above Leslie Morgan Steiner shares her personal story and attempts to explain the often asked question - why do victims of domestic violence stay in an abusive relationship. After watching the short video feel free to post your comments below. Did she answer any questions that you had before viewing, or did she leave you with more questions that need answering?
