Each Wednesday evening in February, the local YMCA in partnership with The Center for Women and Families and the Louisville Office for Women will host the acclaimed “In Their Shoes” workshop with an emphasis on teen dating violence awareness. February is Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month.

Through interactive scenarios at this free event , participants will step into the lives of one of six characers, each based on real teen experiences involving issues such as sexting, pregnancy, homophobia, and stalking.
