Studies show that those of us who have experienced trauma in childhood are at a higher risk of relationship challenges – including domestic violence – as adults. By teaching young people about healthy relationships, you can help them recognize and prevent relationship abuse in the future.

One Love Foundation is an organization that is working to empower young people with the tools and resources they need to see the signs of healthy and unhealthy relationships. Check out their website to learn how you can help start the conversation: https://joinonelove.org

You can also learn more about healthy relationships and find local DV resources in this ODHS brochure:https://sharedsystems.dhsoha.state.or.us/DHSForms/Served/de7808.pdf

Meaningful employment can have an impact that reaches far beyond the workplace. For people with disabilities, a job can create opportunities for greater independence, confidence and connection.

Greater financial independence: Earning a paycheck can give people more control over their choices, goals and everyday lives.

A stronger sense of purpose: Meaningful work gives people the opportunity to use their talents and know their contributions matter.

Increased confidence: Learning new skills, taking on responsibilities and succeeding at work can build confidence that carries into other parts of life.

New relationships and connections: Work creates opportunities to meet people, build friendships and become more connected to the community.

A path toward the life they want: Employment can open doors to new experiences, greater independence and personal goals.

This NDEAM, we're celebrating the life-changing impact that meaningful employment can create.
