What We’re Doing

Here at Love is Not Abuse, we want to change what people think of when they think of love. We also want to frame our message in a positive way, not just the negatives that come with unhealthy relationships, but we also want to start talking about the great things that come with healthy relationships!

How you can help

You can help us do this by adding your own ideas about what “love is” to our collection.  All you need is a printer and a pen!

Instructions

1. Follow this link to get the “love is” image.
2. Print out the image.
3. Add what you think love is in the bottom portion of the page.  You can decorate your page with art, or describe your ideas in words. Do as much or as little as you think is necessary to explain your ideas. Get creative and colorful!
4. Find a nice simple background with good natural lighting.
5. Using self-timer or a friend, take a photo of yourself holding your page. You can make any pose you like, including covering your face if you want to keep anonymous. Again, feel free to get creative with your poses!
