If you have teens in your life...THIS ONE IS FOR YOU!

We closed out Teen Dating Violence Awareness & Prevention Month with invaluable information from our co-host Rhonda L. Fleming, the Chief of Prevention, Intervention & Outreach at the Women’s Center & Shelter of Greater Pittsburgh.

Even though this is the end of February, teen dating violence, unhealthy relationships, and what teens often refer to as “toxic” relationships will go on in March, April, and May… well, you get it.

Teen Dating Violence is an ongoing issue, with stats showing that 1 in 3 teens experience some form of abuse before the age of 18.

Rhonda shared invaluable information on this topic and interviewed me as I have lived experiences with this form of violence.

Join us as we recognize Domestic Violence Awareness Month with a couple that's in a healthy relationship!

This robust conversation will let our audience know that there is such a thing as a healthy relationship, whether they believe it or not! Unfortunately, some do not think there is such a thing!

This episode will dispute that myth with Drs. Christine and Chuck Herring. They exude what a healthy relationship entails and will give the audience hope if they do not believe they can experience one.

Linda Lee Blakemore is a national speaker, author, advocate, and survivor. She is a member of the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence Speakers Bureau (VOICES), and her second book, Entrenched: A Memoir of Holding On and Letting Go, called “an important addition to the literature of abuse and recovery,” has been named a recommended read by NationalShelters.org. Linda has appeared in videos, on national and international radio, podcasts, and television, including the Montel Williams Show. Articles about Linda’s books have appeared in national magazines including Teen Voices, America’s Family Resources, and Seventeen. With her first book, Kids Helping Kids Break the Silence of Sexual Abuse, Linda traveled the country speaking at universities, roundtables, and child abuse conferences where she educated and advocated for children. With her current book, Entrenched: A Memoir of Holding On and Letting Go, Linda is working with Dress for Success as well as local and national domestic violence and rape crisis centers to advocate for and educate women, especially those who struggle to confront their past or break from unhealthy relationships. Linda’s class: “From Survivor to Author” is designed to help survivors heal and share through the art of writing and storytelling.

Join us as our guest shares how she loves herself despite the traumatic event she endured as a teenager that left her feeling worthless. She did it through the use of dolls and therapy.
