Building Healthy Relationships

This grant funds a presentation at MHS by Ashley Bendiksen, an award-winning activist and expert on domestic violence, teen dating violence, sexual assault, and resilience. A survivor herself, Ashley went on to become her high school valedictorian and now uses her personal story to empower and educate others. Her program will teach students what healthy relationships look like while helping them recognize and respond to the many forms of abuse—emotional, verbal, psychological, and physical. Given the sensitive nature of the topic, the presentation will be delivered in a smaller group format to allow for a more meaningful and supportive experience.
