I support this request for the full amount of $15,000. <br /> By way of background, the TDVPI received federal funding from the U.S. <br /> Dept. of Health and Human Services for a National Summit held in November <br /> 2004. Prior to that date, a request was made to Governor Lingle for her support <br /> of this initiative to address and eliminate teen dating violence. This support by <br /> the Governor made it possible for Hawaii to participate in the National Summit. <br /> The Hawaii Team members are from the Big Island. The State Teams <br /> developed the prototypes for the TDVPI Toolkits. These Toolkits contain <br /> Prevention Recommendations and Warning Signs to help students, parents, <br /> teachers, administrators, police, medical professionals, judges, attorneys, <br /> counselors, and community leaders. <br /> The HCCSW would like funds for training, education, and prevention. If <br /> more than $15,000 is available, we could certainly use the funds to include a <br /> Teen Dating Violence Awareness Video with local teens talking about their <br /> experiences. The Emmy Award Winning Film Production Company of a PBS <br /> teen program has agreed to produce the video at a minimum cost of $45,000.
