During the month of February, Senator Serrano’s off-site constituent hours focused on the importance of healthy relationships. Constituents were taught how to identify abusive behaviors and encouraged to seek help if needed. By partnering with organizations such as NYC Healthy Relationships Training Academy and The Mayor’s Office to Combat Domestic Violence, participants were able to receive information on important resources available to them in our city.

Teens were also able to participate in a workshop about creating healthy relationships at Aguilar Library. The workshop focused on delving deeper into the signs of an abusive personality, and taught the students some less obvious indications. An advocate for healthy and stable relationships, Senator Serrano was pleased to work with these organizations to provide important information to his constituents. By identifying signs of a dangerous relationship, we will better be able to create healthier homes and communities in the 29th Senate District.
