League of African American Women presents "Love Doesn't Hurt" Workshop and Group Talk for young girls and women. Domestic Abuse, Sexual Abuse and Coercion, Unhealthy Relationships, and Low Self Worth are affecting young girls as early as 12 years old.  Join us for discussion and learn ways to tell if your daughter, sister, or friend may be being abused and what to do about it. Domestic Abuse and Sexual Abuse are hard subjects to discuss, but it must be done in order for girls and women to heal. Like our other programs, "Love Doesn't Hurt" focuses on three basic tenets: Education, Outreach, and Prevention. Let's come together to educate ourselves, share stories, and to help save and change lives.
