The Hamilton County Leadership Academy is a 10-month program allowing county citizens to develop local projects.  A team has unveiled its program in Carmel on Tuesday (3.29) to educate residents on the scary statistics surrounding teen dating violence.

1 of 3 teen girls suffer from dating violence.  82% of parents feel they can recognize the warning signs, but when asked to identify those signs, 58% could not.

The campaign says teen dating violence is #NotOK.  Obviously, all violence is not OK, but this campaign is designed to educate suburban parents on the fact this can happen in your family.

I recently recorded a Podcast featuring Jocelyn Vare and Brittany Winebar, both members of the Academy team.  You can listen to that Podcast at this link.
