On Friday, March 1, the Peer Counseling program here at Eleanor Roosevelt High School held a “Teen Dating Violence Awareness Day” during lunch in which they handed out resources to students through flyers. The peer counselors also brought awareness to the day by having students post on social media using #LoveIsRespect while giving out free candy.

Many students turned out for the free candy, but left with something greater, they left with the knowledge of the prevalence and signs of dating violence and information about spotting it, and stopping it. Take a look below of many peer counselors, students, and our school decked out in love and respect in solidarity of “Teen Dating Violence Awareness Day.”
