Healthy Relationship Education as Violence Prevention: The MotherWise Program

Healthy Relationship Education as Violence Prevention: The MotherWise Program

Using a new program for women who are pregnant or who have just had a baby called MotherWise as an example, this workshop will cover what healthy relationship education is, how it addresses domestic violence, and research on its impact on domestic violence. Specific lessons and activities will be presented. Discussion will include ways that these types of programs and lessons can support the work of domestic violence advocates and what related resources are available.
