February is Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month, a time dedicated to shedding light on an issue that affects far too many young people. Sobeida Rosa, Community Educator with Domestic Violence Services of Lancaster County, works to educate the public about Domestic Violence and resources available at DVS Lancaster. “Teens can also be involved or experience these types of things within their dating. And it's super important to raise awareness because we want to make sure we can try to do some prevention, some reframing so that they can in turn be adults with healthy relationships and kind of get these warning signs early before, you know, the added pressure of adulthood on top of being in a relationship, “said Rosa. Kristen Herman, Pennsylvania Coalition Against Domestic Violence says educating young folks before they become adults provides an opportunity to help as they’re forming relationships. “You know, whether we like it or not, kids at this age are dating. What that looks like to them and what that sounds like to us might be two totally different things, but it is happening. And we are seeing emotional, psychological, physical, sexual abuse in teen dating relationships as well, especially when we look at things like the use of technology in that age group, “said Herman. Listen to the podcast to hear how technology and social media plays a role in teen dating abuse, what to look out for if a parent suspects their teen is in a abusive relationship, and the first steps a teen should take If they find themselves in a abusive relationship.

Bestselling author and CEO of The Purple Vine Debbie Compton shares her trajectory from corporate executive to fulltime caregiver. She shares strategies to empower caregivers, reduce burnout, and learn to laugh again. About Debbie Debbie Compton is a compassionate three time primary caregiver for parents with Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and vascular dementia. As a speaker, she brings hope and laughter to caregiver and dementia issues, easing the stress of her audience. Since 2017, Debbie has been a Community Educator for the Alzheimer's Association and is a Certified Caregiving Consultant and Certified Caregiver Advocate.

Key Takeaways There are things that you can do to greatly reduce the chances of getting dementia. Twenty minutes of daily exercise cuts the odds of getting dementia in half. As a caregiver, you must train your mind to look for good, because you're surrounded by bad. Instead of being sad that mom can't speak, be thankful you can still communicate without words. Burnout is a state of mental, physical, emotional exhaustion. To avoid caregiver burnout, write on an index card all the things that people can help you with to ease your load, and share it when people offer to help. Don't rob people of their blessing to help.

Today, we hear from Sara Chambers, Community Educator for Hospice of Northwest Ohio about breaking the societal barriers with death and dying.  

Could God use our extremely un-peaceful circumstances to bring us into a deeper peace than we have ever known? My friend, Lori Ann Wood, is nodding an adamant “YES!” with this. Lori is a lifelong Christian, an unlikely writer, and a heart failure survivor. After enduring this health detour, she wrote, Divine Detour: The Path You'd Never Choose Can Lead to the Faith You've Always Wanted, for the believer who hits a snag in their careful life plan and starts to wonder if their faith is any good at all: the career has evaporated overnight, the adult child has turned his back on his family, the marriage vows have worn paper thin. If these or the like resonate with you, dear listener, lean on in. Lori Ann was trained at the Mayo Clinic and now serves as a Community Educator for WomenHeart, sharing heart failure warning signs she missed. Today, we're talking about: Divine detours, those times that make you wonder if your faith is any good at all and how to experience peace through it Doubt - if we doubt does it mean our faith is not strong enough? How does God view our doubt? 3 questions every life must answer (often more than once) Download Lori Ann's new heart failure resource, 5 Warning Signs of Heart Failure That Seem Like Something Else  C A N D A C E  C O F E R author + speaker ⁠⁠⁠website⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠instagram⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠youtube⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠facebook

Teri White serves as a Community Educator, Certified Sexual Risk Avoidance Specialist, and the Curriculum Content Manager for the “I Decide For Me” school program with Clarity, a non-profit community organization in Indiana. IDFM is a sexual risk avoidance program for middle school and high school kids. Although she primarily teaches 6th and 8th graders, she manages the curriculum for 6th, 8th and High School grades. The goal of Clarity's entire education team is to engage, inspire and educate kids on the risks and consequences related to their sexual choices. Everything taught is based on biblical principles, which makes this a very unique program for the public school system. The state of Indiana's Board of Education requires that students be taught sexual abstinence until marriage is the healthiest choice for optimal health. This state health education standard helps to keep the Clarity curriculum in their schools. In Teri's own words, “ I just go into schools and love on kids and tell them how valuable they are and that each one of them are important and matter.” EMAIL: Teri.white@claritycares.org CLARITY: https://claritycares.org/ This podcast is sponsored by Anchor, our one and only choice in podcast platforms. https://anchor.fm/ --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/nikkipodcast22/support
