The presenters are Jodi Miceli (Cuccia), Demi's mother
and Chris McAneny: 3E Now Pittsburgh.
He taught prevention programs in middle and high schools in and around Pittsburgh. He worked directly with students to increase awareness and help prevent dating and domestic violence. He saw and heard first hand from students about how common dating violence is across all income levels and how devastating it can be in young lives.
The 3E Now program was born with the realization that only about 10% of all the students in Allegheny County are currently receiving any formal information or guidance training on dating violence. Yet the teen years, before marriage and children, are the very time when this information can do the most good.
