Peace Over Violence’s Prevention team will be hosting sessions via Instagram live. Every week, hosts Edwin Bodney and Hannah Denyer will teach a different unit from POV’s In Touch With Teens curriculum.

During this period of social distancing, we understand that violence is still prevalent in our communities, and the need for education is just as important as ever. Regardless of your awareness of these issues, we want to provide a virtual space during this time to allow folks to come together and learn that they can continue the mission of ending violence and building healthy communities everywhere. Who should tune in? Violence Prevention Specialists, Counselor Advocates, Rape Prevention Educators, Youth Leaders, anyone and everyone!
