✨ Our Youth Advisory Council is taking a stand against violence! ✨

On Saturday, August 22, P*e Dee Coalition Against Domestic & Sexual Assault Youth Advisory Council members Mallorie James, Antonio Singeltary, and Joy Zheng participated in P*e Dee United Against Violence at Florence Memorial Stadium, presented by Peterson's World's Famous Hotdogs and Michael Zimmerman.

🎤 Mallorie and Antonio shared powerful messages about:
🟣 Preventing violence before it begins
🟣 The importance of bystander intervention
🟣 Recognizing and safely leaving harmful situations

Our YAC members also had the opportunity to network with Dr. Sonyetta Cooper and Marion City Council member Tassie Lewis!

Attendees who stopped by our table also got to participate in an engaging activity: “What’s Your Recipe for a Healthy Relationship?” 💜 Together, we explored the ingredients that help build relationships rooted in respect, trust, communication, and safety.

We are so proud of our YAC members for using their voices, sharing their knowledge, and helping create a safer, healthier community! 💪💜

🎉 The Youth Advisory Council (YAC) is officially making an impact!

On August 15, the P*e Dee Coalition Against Domestic & Sexual Assault’s Youth Advisory Council held its first public event at Baker Memorial Library in Timmonsville!

The event, “Connecting the Dots,” explored the connection between violence and the Five Protective Factors, while giving attendees meaningful tools and skills to help build safer, stronger communities. 🧩💙

A HUGE thank you to Amani Rodriguez of Be Safe Families for providing such engaging facilitation and impactful skills for everyone who attended!

We also want to thank our incredible community partners:
✨ Care House of the P*e Dee for the amazing door prizes
✨ Darlington County First Steps
✨ Baker Memorial Library for generously providing the space

Interested in being part of the change? 📢

If you are a middle school, high school, or college student interested in joining the Youth Advisory Council—or if your organization would like to support YAC as a community professional support partner—we would love to hear from you!

Domestic violence doesn't stay at home. Some possible signs children may present at school:

• Sudden anxiety or fearfulness
• Trouble concentrating or falling asleep in class
• Increased aggression or emotional outbursts
• Withdrawal from friends or activities
• Frequent absences or tardiness
• Being unusually watchful or easily startled
• Worrying excessively about a parent or siblings
• Changes in academic performance

Teachers, counselors, coaches, and school staff may be among the first safe adults to notice that something has changed.

If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, call our 24-hour crisis line at 843-669-4600 (local) or 1-800-273-1820 (toll free) to speak to an advocate about options and safety plan.

Saturday Shoutout!

Youth Advisory Council Member Antonio Singletary spoke to youth on behalf of PDC and the services we provide to victim-survivors. He used his position as an executive member to network with other organizations, make connections, and ask thought-provoking questions. He also used this time to build connections and expand the Advisory Council's reach.

He formed a connection between PDC, the Period Project, and the Donnelly Center to help create a location to supply free hygiene products. Once school is open, he will work toward partnering the Period Project with the Williamsburg County School District to ensure there are free hygiene products for students in the middle and high schools.

Materials that were created by our other executive member, Mallorie James, were also distributed to participants. They focused on mental health tips for youth.

We are having a Women's Self-Defense Class for girls and women headed into or back to college on August 1, 2026 at McLeod Health & Fitness Center and Spa from 9am-5pm. Contact Cameron Faile at 843-777-3093 to sign up. Space is limited, but the class is free!

August to November is called the "Red Zone" for college campuses because it is the time of year where most college sexual assaults take place on campus. Learn techniques and skills, gain confidence, and learn risk awareness to take steps to defend yourself.

If you have questions about the class, call 843-669-4694 to speak with Denine, the instructor of the class.
