The Sudbury-Wayland-Lincoln Domestic Violence Roundtable will join with Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School and Wayland High School to host members of the community, particularly parents of high school students, to experience a powerful, 90-minute film-based workshop about relationship violence produced by the OneLove Foundation*. The short film, Escalation, tells the story of two relatable college students who fall in love, but whose relationship ultimately turns violent.
After a screening of the film, a guided discussion about warning signs of relationship violence will be led by a trained facilitator. Student members of the Mentors in Violence Prevention Teams at Lincoln-Sudbury and Wayland High Schools will also share information about their work and answer questions about Escalation.
The program will be held on Thursday evening May 10, 2018, at 7 PM at Wayland High School, 264 Cochituate Road, Wayland, MA.

*About OneLove: On May 3, 2010, University of Virginia senior Yeardley Love was found in her off-campus apartment, the victim of a brutal assault by her former boyfriend. The murder sent shockwaves throughout the campus, and was a wake-up call for the entire country about the horrific nature of relationship violence. Yeardley’s mother, Sharon Love, has since pledged to bring meaning to this devastating loss by starting the One Love Foundation, an organization whose mission is to raise awareness about the consequences of relationship violence.
