Have you ever been concerned about a friend or family member’s relationship, but didn’t know what to say? Join the Roundtable to learn the warning signs of an abusive relationship and how to support a loved one in an unhealthy relationship.
The program will take place on Thursday evening October 6 at 7pm in the Raytheon Room at the Wayland Public Library. It is free and open to the public. Featured speakers will be Jessica Teperow and M.J. Wright.

She has used her academic research on different violence prevention methods and curricula to create and implement dating and sexual violence programming with colleges, universities, middle and high schools, and juvenile probation programs.
