1 in 3 women experience serious physical violence from an intimate
partner during their lifetimes. 33% is just terrifying. Typically it happens between the ages of 16-24, but dating violence can be harming someone's 12-year old daughter, a 30-year old niece, or one of your co-workers. It could be happening right now, and you don't know about it. Dating violence is prevalent in every community, zip code, county, state, over all parts of this country. Forget all of your preconceptions and stereotypes. It is everywhere. I've spoken out about dating violence over 100 times at high schools, colleges, private companies, community groups, and police academies. I've given TV, radio, podcast, and webinar interviews on it. I discuss the life-altering emotional and physical injuries that are possible unless we are aware—and we act. WHEN DATING HURTS explains the warning signs that can help us to detect a relationship that can be harmful. And I explain "the template every abuser follows". It is lifesaving information. It will bring you clarity on this issue. I share guidance gained from conversations with domestic violence counselors and law enforcement professionals. I've spoken with victims and survivors. Most of what I've learned is from our lives after the loss of our daughter, Kristin. It is not theoretical. It is real. Had we seen a book like this, Kristin would be alive today. What you will read can save someone's life. The more you know, the safer you—and those you care about—will be. We can enlighten your family's future. WHEN DATING HURTS is available in paperback and eBook on Amazon. _______________________________________________________________ The WHEN DATING HURTS podcast series When Dating Hurts podcast plays on all popular podcast players, We have a great list of guests lined up to be interviewed over the coming weeks.
