Los Angeles, CA. July, 21, 2016  Break the Cycle is looking for young people ages 12-24 to participate in a listening session about relationships for their new project, Let’s Be Real. Let’s Be Real brings together and supports young people across the country to collaborate for change. In the Real Talk listening sessions, young people will engage in truthful, uncensored conversation on dating, relationship norms, media, pop culture, technology, and friends. The first session will take place in Los Angeles on July 28, 2016 from 3pm – 5pm. “This group will be a safe space to discuss relationships, connect with other young people, and provide adult allies with authentic opinions from young people,” says Jasmine Uribe, Leadership & Engagement Manager at Break the Cycle.
