In honor of the late Jana Mackey, a committed group of advocates has created Jana's Campaign, Inc. with the single mission of reducing relationship violence.
An amazing @FTMSJaguars teacher, @FrontierTrailPE arranged for someone from @JanasCampaign to come speak with groups of our 8th Graders. I am at a loss to explain how impactful it was as an educator and friend of Jana’s to see students learn from her story.
#CoerciveControl often involves isolating the victim from friends, family, and support systems, making it harder for them to leave the abusive relationship.
Financial dependence and concerns about custody of children can also act as barriers.

Learning about red flags in relationships & characteristics of both healthy and unhealthy relationships. We love @JanasCampaign and all that they do for our youth. @theSMSD#HealthEd
About one in twelve teens has experienced dating violence (CDC, 2019). However, the actual number is likely higher due to many people being afraid to report their partner’s unhealthy behaviors or not knowing that the things they are experiencing are gender-based violence.
This week welcomed February and National Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month. We encourage you to join us in raising awareness of this preventable public health issue! #TeenDatingViolenceAwarenessMonth#TDVAM#LeadingToPrevent
