The event will take place on Tuesday, March 31 at 7:00pm in the Goodnow Library (21 Concord Road, Sudbury). 

On Wednesday, April 15 from 7–8:15pm, the DVR’s White Ribbon Group (part of a national movement of men and boys working to end violence against women and girls, promoting gender equity and healthy relationships) will host “Recognizing and Responding to Teen Dating Violence.” on Zoom. Designed for parents/guardians and people in youth-facing roles, this workshop will focus on identifying signs of abuse, and building skills on supporting teens who are experiencing unhealthy or abusive relationships.
