NYC Teen Dating Violence Awareness Walk
The Healing Center held our 12th annual NYC Teen Dating Violence Awareness Walk on April 13th, 2024, alongside our co-sponsors: YWCA Brooklyn, CONNECT, Womankind, Safe Horizon, Council Member Alexa Avilés, Center for Anti-Violence Education, Bethlehem Lutheran Church, and Day One. The NYC Teen Dating Violence Awareness Walk was launched in 2012 in response to the growing epidemic of teen dating and sexual violence, and continues to shine a light on this critical issue by mobilizing its surrounding community including teens, survivors, schools, nonprofit organizations, elected officials, and community partners for an annual rally and march across the Brooklyn Bridge.
"For so long, I believed nothing would change, but everything has changed starting with me because of The Healing Center."
- Guadalupe F.
For 23 years, The Healing Center has been a beacon of hope for families affected by violence.
We believe healing begins within the context of community--en comunidad.
Our Cafecito Support Group has become a sisterhood of survivors where women affected by violence find their voices and harness their individual and collective power to overcome harmful relationships.
