We're honored to be sponsoring the program "House of Ruth's Healthy and Unhealthy Relationships" on Monday, October 26, 2020 at 6:00 PM. Featured House of Ruth speaker is Stephanie Romano.

During Stephanie's presentation, participants will explore healthy, unhealthy, and abusive behaviors that may be used in relationships. Participants will discuss ways to recognize abuse beyond the “proof” of a bruise or physical injury, and examine how more subtle forms of abuse can affect victims. Program attendees will also learn ways to be supportive of someone who may be experiencing abuse in their relationship.

Program attendees are required to register in advance for this webinar here:
