Healing Through Healthy Relationships

Dozens of teens and parents gathered in Kansas City for a powerful event designed to equip young people with tools to spot unhealthy relationships, set boundaries, and know they’re never alone. Led by Chrystal Truss, a survivor of intimate partner violence, the gathering featured heartfelt advice from judges, police, and educators—including leaders sharing what they’d tell their younger selves. With alarming stats showing one in twelve high schoolers facing physical abuse and one in ten experiencing sexual abuse, the event underscored how relationship violence ripples through communities. Organizers hope this moment sparks lasting change, building a stronger, more supportive network to prevent abuse and empower youth.
