Guys With Ties, Girls With Pearls

Each April the Putnam County Family Support Services Sexual Assault Prevention Program as well as other Sexual Assault Prevention Programs across the country join together to raise awareness about sexual violence. The goal is to educate communities about the dynamics of sexual violence in an effort to end this devastating epidemic that pervades every community. During April the Guys with Ties and Girls with Pearls campaigns are an effort to bring awareness to the community.
