Powerful Prevention Tool!By Shalanda MotenAs an advocate for every young woman's health and dignity, I encourage parents, educators and teenage girls to read Love Doesn't Leave Bruises. This book is a powerful primary, secondary and tertiary prevention tool that exposes the various forms of dating violence, while educating young women about the hallmarks of a healthy relationship. This book is a must read for teenage girls who have been or currently are in an abusive relationship. Through this book, Tamika opens the window of her soul and enables teenage girls to identify "Real Love"! As such, the Dating Violence Prevention Center utilizes this book within our Community Education programs.Shalanda MotenFounder CEO of the Dating Violence Prevention Center0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Inspired by Tamika!By Laquisha Tisdal HallI have witnessed Tamika verbally advocate for victims of teen dating violence, but her words provide even more guidance! The incredible knowledge that she has based on extensive research and prior experience helps to capture all of the feelings, emotions and questions that a reader may have. Through reading Love Doesen't Leave Bruises, your self-esteem will be raised, your knowledge of the issue increased and your preparedness to move forward in victory will be closer!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
