RESPECTWORKS
Respectworks, a group of Darien high school aged students (private & home schooled included), are mentored and sponsored by the Darien Domestic Abuse Council. Respect Works meets once a month during the school year.
The students are educated on awareness, and prevention of domestic abuse in the community by providing education on domestic violence and the services available to victims as well as their families through programs and events, and to foster positive interpersonal relationships in the community.
The Respectworks program also offers training, social and emotional connections by hosting guest speakers, activities, and round table discussions.
Respect Works meets once a month September-May. For more information, contact Janice.marzano@gmail.com
