Team One Love UW-Madison held its first escalation workshop to spread awareness on dating violence

By Hannah Malone | Sep. 28, 2016

Team One Love UW-Madison held its first “Escalation” workshop to raise awareness on the warning signs of abusive relationships Tuesday in the UW-Madison Social Sciences building. The workshop screened a 45-minute video on the escalation of violence in an abusive relationship, followed by a small group break-out session to discuss different forms of abuse, self-help strategies and how to assist those involved in an abusive relationship. The national One Love Foundation was founded in 2010 in honor of Yeardley Love, who was beaten to death by her boyfriend one week before she graduated from the University of Virginia. UW-Madison Team One Love President Maiya Weber said the main goal of the workshop is to inform students on the topic of abuse and resources available to them on campus. “Hopefully the workshops make college kids more aware of what’s happening because they are the most vulnerable group for relationship abuse,” Weber said.
