Jana’s Campaign and Options are currently in a partnership for the Sexual Violence Prevention and Education grant provided by KDHE. ?? We invite you to participate in a survey to help us better understand the factors that contribute to violence and safety within our communities. We are conducting a Quality of Life survey in Ellis, Thomas, and Russell Counties (KS) to gain insights into the risks and protections against violence, with a particular focus on sexual violence. The purpose of this survey is to gather valuable information that will guide our efforts in creating safer, more supportive communities. If you are a resident of Ellis, Thomas, or Russell counties, we encourage you to take 10-15 minutes to complete this survey!

Is your partner always shifting the blame or making excuses? ??That’s a red flag in any relationship. Healthy relationships are built on accountability and mutual respect. If your partner consistently avoids taking responsibility for their actions, it can create a toxic environment. Remember: You deserve someone who values your feelings and is willing to work through problems together. If you’re experiencing this in your relationship, it’s important to address it openly and honestly. What are your thoughts on this topic?
