Healthy relationships don’t just happen — they’re learned, practiced, and supported.💚

The CDC’s HeaRT (Healthy Relationship Training) from VetoViolence is a free, interactive tool designed to help educators, youth leaders, and communities teach young people how to build safe, respectful relationships and prevent teen dating violence before it starts. It covers key topics like communication, boundaries, and recognizing warning signs so we can create safer environments for all youth.

By investing in prevention and education, we can empower the next generation with the skills they need to form healthy connections and reduce violence in our communities.

A while back, our ROC Ambassadors sat down and wrote thank you notes to the high school teachers in their lives.

💚Teachers who saw something in them before they could see it in themselves.

💚Teachers who showed patience, compassion, and kindness in moments that mattered more than anyone realized.

💚Teachers who helped plant seeds of hope that are still growing today.

On National Random Acts of Kindness Day, we’re reminded that those small acts — a word of encouragement, a little extra grace, someone simply showing up and caring — can stay with a person forever.

If someone has made a difference in your life, take a moment to reach out. Even long after the moment has passed, gratitude still has the power to heal, connect, and inspire.

This Valentine’s Day, we’re sending love to every individual and family on the journey of recovery.💚

We believe love is powerful—love for ourselves, for our families, and for our community. Recovery is built on connection, compassion, and hope, and no one should have to walk that path alone.

Today, let’s take a moment to:
• Check in on a friend or loved one
• Celebrate progress—big or small
• Offer kindness without judgment
• Remember that every life is valuable and worthy of healing

If you or someone you love is struggling, help is here. Together, we can create a community rooted in support, understanding, and second chances.💚

Prom night is a milestone—and a great opportunity for connection.

This year, we’re working with local tux and dress shops in Pickaway County to provide parents and teens with conversation guides focused on staying alcohol-free and safe on prom night.

Because prevention starts with a conversation.💚
