For people of all ages, there are never enough examples of healthy relationships. That is one reason why Barack and Michelle Obama have wowed the world. In the case of universities and college campuses, most young adults experience non-parented freedom and relationships for the first time. College life is often the birthplace and/or stomping ground of a person’s sexual discovery and understanding. In the Jaha’s life work they have found that dating violence occurs primarily because of ignorance about how to respond appropriately to disagreements and about what actually does make up a healthy, happy and harmonious relationship. Parents and society at large stress the importance of children learning reading, writing and arithmetic, yet how much time is invested in the interpersonal communication and emotional well being of the youth? The Jaha’s embrace being role models, offering alternatives to self destructive behaviors. This conference will encourage Dickinson students to recognize their very own personal worth and seek growing and healthy relationships instead of making unhealthy decisions that can lead to sexual violence.
