Teen Advocacy
Turning Point’s Teen Advocate can speak with teens, teachers, administrators, and parents about teen relationship issues. Middle schools, high schools, or any interested organization is provided information to help teens navigate the waters of healthy vs. unhealthy relationships as students develop new social situations and enter the dating scene.
Presentations have been developed in compliance with House Bill 19 which requires dating violence education in middle and high school health classes and education. Contact Robin McNeal or Doryan Miller for more information regarding this program.
