Before Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month wraps up, we are spotlighting some great community resources & good awareness info...

1. The YWCA of Clark County - They have awesome supports through the Prevention Program, Safe Choice Domestic Violence Program, & Sexual Assault Program. Their main # is 360-696-0167 & the 24 hr DV hotline is 360-695-0501.
2. Cowlitz Tribe's Pathways to Healing is also a great program, providing services for domestic violence, dating violence & much more. Call 360-397-8228 to reach their Vancouver office.

While we are still working to get services started, we are here to listen and help navigate resources available in the community for youth & young adults who need a safe person to talk to. Email us at [email protected] or text us at 360-518-4540.

When it comes to teen dating violence, it's always good to know who your safe people are that you can turn to, even before you're in that situation.

Check out our green flags on healthy relationships & follow the link below to the Office For The Prevention of Domestic Violence to learn more about teen dating violence red flags & healthy relationships.

Here's to an inspiring Motivational Monday...
Hoping you have a great start to your week!

02/17/2025

We are honoring Black History Month and celebrating the rich beauty of black cultures.

Check out our Invite to Learn Cultural Highlights on our website.
https://pawsitiverippleseffectproject.org/invite-to-learn

After watching the film, Farming While Black, we are digging deeper to learn more about the plight of black farmers in the United States and how it connects to anti-racism and black history. It's cool to hear Leah Penniman (author, activist, & farmer), talk about the wisdom and therapeutic value in connecting with the earth, as well as the importance that wisdom has to black history.

Happy Lunar New Year!
2025 is the year of the wood snake, signifying renewal, transformation, and new beginnings.
It also signifies wisdom and personal growth.
It's about shedding bad energy while we lean into that personal growth.

Personal growth is challenging for sure. Holding strong to centering diversity, equity, & inclusion and approaching everything with empathy are important values we lean into considering our growth and new beginnings, especially during these hard times.

Are there any areas of personal growth you all are working on? Or do you have any wisdom to share on the topic of new beginnings?

Share in the comments if you're comfortable doing so and we'll do the same. 🙌

What is one positive thing you can do to care for your mental wellbeing?
(Share in comments if you're comfortable doing so.)

Knowing your supports is always important!
Here's 3 awesome support resources we'd like to share:
TeenTalk - nonjudgmental support for teens, by teens - 360.397.2428

Couve Collective - provides support & community through recovery for folks 18 & over - 564.208.4892

While we are working hard to get services up & running, we can be a support too!

Hello! All of us at Pawsitive Ripples Effect Project are excited to reconnect here. We have been continuing to work hard behind the scenes, moving things forward to get this program up and running. We took a step back from regular social media posts while juggling the many priorities in this endeavor, and also being mindful of our team's capacity, but we are happy to be back here connecting with community.
Keep an eye out for our upcoming conversational series: Motivational Mondays, Talk It Out Tuesdays, Thoughtful Thursdays, & Funny Fridays, as well as program development updates.
