Youth Advocate Summit Summer 2024
In August, DOVE brought together students from Quincy High, North Quincy High, Fontbonne Academy, and Blue Hill Technical Regional School for the third 4-day summer 2024 training during which the teens learned about healthy relationships and abuse prevention. Students explored topics such as setting boundaries, practicing consent, power and privilege, gender roles and stereotypes, social media literacy, and how to support a friend experiencing an abusive relationship. Each day was filled with presentations, discussions, group work, and peer-to-peer learning.
Short-term parent support is also available to support survivors in navigating challenges or concerns that may include:
-
parenting in the context of partner violence
-
child development
-
child behavior
-
discipline, and setting routines
Parents interested in support for their children are encouraged to receive services through our Individual Counseling & Advocacy Services.
In addition, DOVE offers child & domestic violence specific consultation, training, and workshops to those in fields serving youth.
All services are free and confidential.
