The Alliance for Victims’ Rights’ annual “Bringing Respect & Honor To Victims” Candlelight Vigil will be held April 25, 2012! Be on the lookout for your invitations and in the meantime, take a moment to acknowledge those around you who are doing impressive, victim-centered work! Have you seen kind and compassionate behavior from a colleague that made a victim’s life easier? Is there a team that works hard to increase access to services and deliver justice to victims? Maybe there’s a local business who routinely supports your work with victims-AVR needs to know about them!
Attached you’ll find the 2012 Nomination Ballot (you will also need to write something so the award selection committee knows why the nominee deserves the award) and the award descriptions. Please be sure to nominate by March 23rd.

teens can learn how to respond to pressure and control in relationships with That’s Not Cool!

Posted on July 28, 2011 by alliance06

 

Teens can now create talking avatar videos to respond to pressure and control in relationships!

 

 

That’s Not Cool, a Futures Without Violence (formerly Family Violence Prevention Fund) public education initiative, has launched a NEW speaking avatar tool that lets teens “Have Your Say” about dating abuse.

 

Use this new avatar tool in your work with youth! Share ThatsNotCool.com and encourage your teens to create their own unique animated videos.

 

Using text-to-speech technology, this new online application is a creative way for teens to talk about what’s okay, or not okay, in their relationships. Users create a character reflecting their unique response to nude pic pressure and from now until August 31st, teens have a chance to get a That’s Not Cool t-shirt if they create and post a talking avatar video that addresses how they feel about pressuring or being pressured.

 

Use That’s Not Cool in your outreach to youth to create a dialogue about pressure and control to help teens navigate new technologies, avoid dating abuse, and foster healthy relationships.

 

Email us to let us know how you’re using That’s Not Cool in your community. We’re here to help and share ideas from across the country!

 

Best of luck with all your work to prevent teen dating violence in your community,

 

-the That’s Not Cool Team
