BEHS453 Advocacy; Domestic Violence Awareness Project

Individual Applied Final Project – Domestic Violence Awareness Project (30 points)

Throughout the term, you will work on a project that promotes awareness of domestic violence issues to the community of your choosing. Pick a population (teens, adults, elders…) and topic (verbal abuse, emotional abuse, date rape, elder financial abuse….it can be anything we covered in class that interests you).

You will create a specific activity, event, or “deliverable” (brochure, pamphlet, handbook, poster, Power Point presentation, writing and performing a song using online media, etc.) that will promote awareness of domestic violence and advocate for its victims. Be creative!

Your presentation should include relevant information from at least 10 original sources (e.g. statistics, published research (UMGC library), class materials, resources).
