Kaity’s Way coming to EAC to talk teen dating violence

THATCHER — Mt. Graham Safe House is teaming with Eastern Arizona College to raise awareness about abuse in teen and college-age relationships.

Kaity’s Way will offer a presentation on how to promote healthy relationships among teens at EAC’s Lee Little Theater on Thursday, Sept. 2., at 11 a.m.

“We’re looking for not just all of our students to be aware of this, but we’re hoping to bring our community (along) as well,” said Safe House’s Felicia Herbert. “Help them to become aware of the fact that this does happen and it’s important to learn.”

Kaity’s Way focuses on teen dating violence and was founded in 2008 by Ric and Bobbi Sudberry, whose 17-year-old daughter, Kaitlyn, was killed by a boyfriend during their walk home from school.

In addition to presentations to youths about teen dating violence, Kaity’s Way has developed a curriculum to help train those who work with teens on the program to help end teen dating violence.

For help in dealing with an abusive relationship, call Mt. Graham Safe House at 928-348-9104. The National Teen Dating Violence Helpline can be reached at 866-331-9474.
