Workshop: Teen Relationship Education and Empowerment training for religious groups

May 18, 2009 by Debra Mason

May 18, 2009 – A workshop to train religious groups about addressing teen relationship violence will be held Aug. 22, 2009, in Columbia.tree-logo

A faith-based initiative against teen relationship violence, the Teen Relationship Education and Empowerment (TREE) program was founded with a Missouri Foundation for Health grant to a coalition of local churches, community health professionals and MU.

Columbia’s Broadway Christian Church submitted the grant, with assistance from the MU Center on Religion & the Professions, which provides project development, outreach and administrative support.

Groups interested in building a TREE team should contact Kim Ryan at (573) 489-2729 or kkgryan@juno.com or Kendra Yoder at klyd29@mizzou.edu.
