Modern Dating: Consent, Boundaries, and Respect

They fearlessly explore topics such as abuse, assault, coping mechanisms, and the harm of labeling all men as abusers. By emphasizing increased communication between men and women, Liz and Jamey offer a hopeful path toward healing, understanding, and mutual empowerment.
