What's Love Got To Do With It? Healthy Relationships and Dating

This educational interactive program for parents and high school students will contain three important components. First, a live theatre presentation of “Remote Control” by the nationally–known Deana’s Educational Theater will explore issues, attitudes and beliefs about dating relationships. Then Lynne Russell, President and Founder of DASH (Dating Abuse Stops Here) will speak about about the murder of her 19 year old daughter Siobhan Russell by her ex-boyfriend in 2009. Our program will wrap up with a community forum led by a clinical social worker specializing in adolescents and families and a trauma physician from INOVA guiding the audience in an exploration of healthy aspects of teen relationships and dating. Information and mental health resources will be provided at the conclusion of the program.
