Wayland Town Crier 3/4/10: Roundtable hosts talk on encouraging healthy relationships. In an environment where brutality, aggression and sexual expectations are embedded in virtually every form of pop culture from music to films to video games, children are in danger of committing, witnessing, and being victimized by violence at increasingly younger ages. Several years ago, the discussion centered on bullying among middle school children. Today, however, there is also enhanced awareness of dating patterns among adolescents that can be described as violent and abusive. If you’re a concerned parent or other adult interested in learning how to talk with children about bullying and dating abuse, you’re invited to join the upcoming Sudbury-Wayland-Lincoln Domestic Violence Roundtable discussion about supporting young people in healthy relationships. For more information visit the Domestic Roundtable website. The event, which will focus on the dynamics of bullying and dating abuse, will be facilitated by Joanne Patterson, director of education and prevention programs at REACH (Refuge Education Advocacy and Change) Beyond Domestic Violence, headquartered in Waltham. The discussion will take place on Tuesday, March 9 from 3 to 4:30 p.m. at the Wayland Public Safety Building.
