Since her award winning book, Tornado Warning, was published, Elin Stebbins Waldal, has been helping high school and college age students understand the dynamics of being in a relationship. In her interactive LoveSTRUCKtm workshop, students learn the elements of a healthy relationship, the signs to look for that they could be at risk for abuse, and what to do if they discover they are in an unhealthy relationship, students who have participated have shared that the experience was life changing.
