S2 Ep12: Love Bites
Sep 10, 2022 • 52min
Run Against Violence partners with the National Association for Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect (NAPCAN) to help ensure that every teenager in Australia has the opportunity to learn about what healthy relationships look like for them. Over the last 2 years, the Run Against Violence has donated $200,000 to NAPCAN to enhance and expand its Love Bites program (and 100% of funds raised in 2022 will be donated too).
Madelene McGrath is the National Stakeholder Manager and NAPCAN and Dr Brenda Dobia - Adjunct Fellow, School of Education at the Western Sydney University who has worked with NAPCAN for many years to adapt, expand and develop Love Bites. Today they join us to talk about Love Bites, including how the money raised by RAV has and will be used to expand and enhance the program.
