Page 30 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – Friday, May 24, 2019 ADMINISTRATION | FROM PAGE 5 and Sen. Lewis to build a foundation for state leadership to address domestic violence and sexual assault as a public health issue. In every corner of our state, we know the toll taken by domestic violence and sexual assault, and as elected officials, we saw we could begin changing that story,” said State Representative Kate Hogan. “This session, I am proud to bring the legislature to the table as a partner in prevention. As lawmakers and government officials, advocacy groups and school districts, our shared goal is to reach students where they are and share the importance of understanding respect in relationships.” “JDI was proud to be a member of the subcommittee working on this campaign … ‘RESPECTfully’ resonates with me and other educators and advocates who understand the importance of focusing on values in order to ultimately prevent teen dating and sexual violence and promote healthy relationships built on trust, equity, and, yes, respect,” said Jane Doe Inc. Executive Director Debra Robbin. “My time working as a member of the Youth Advisory Council has taught me that a healthy relationship has about seven components: honesty, communication, trust, respect, understanding, love and teamwork,” said Youth Advisory Council Member Emma Demerath. “I’m so honored to be a part of a campaign that pledges to educate kids on healthy relationships in order to prevent domestic violence in their futures.” The campaign is funded by $500,000 secured in the FY 2019 budget. The campaign spots will be on social media channels, such as Instagram, Snapchat and YouTube, beginning next week and run through October and will include: • Two spots dedicated to friendships, aimed at middle schoolers • Four spots dedicated to intimate partner relationships, aimed at high schoolers The ads will run for 20-30 seconds on social media platforms. The campaign will identify an unhealthy behavior and propose a resolution in a positive, empowering manner on topics such as drama in friendships, name-calling, intense or obsessive relationships, controlling relationships, isolation or jealousy in relationships and betrayal in relationships. The RESPECTfully campaign images will also appear on transit stations, Registry of Motor Vehicle locations, MassPort Digital Panels, convenience stores and billboards throughout the state.
