Often women and especially young women will blame themselves for the abuse and violence that happened to them. We are here to say “NO, it is not your fault at all.” February is Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month and FOCUS Ministries is committed to bringing awareness to the tragedy of teen violence. In fact, we want to see it end today! We have tools available at our website to help educate youth on how to have healthy relationships, how to enforce personal boundaries and how to know who YOU are in Christ. Please visit our webstore for more information about “Time To Talk” and our Teen FOCUS Small Group Curriculum.
