The East End’s Sole Domestic Violence Agency Reaching Out To Local Youth During Teen DV Month

It’s absolutely astonishing and appalling that one in three teens in the U.S. will experience physical, sexual or emotional abuse by someone they are in a relationship with. So, to raise awareness about this staggering statistic, The Retreat will host several events throughout February, which is National Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month.

“The Retreat is celebrating National Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month, or ‘Teen DV Month,’ with special events and workshops throughout the East End of Long Island,” shared Helen Atkinson-Barnes, Education Program Manager at The Retreat.

The Retreat, Inc. will partner with Long Island Against Domestic Violence (LIADV) to educate foster care youth in Suffolk and Nassau Counties about Teen Dating Violence Prevention Month, presenting workshops like In Their Shoes, and These Hands are not for Hurting. The Retreat will also host Teen Dating Violence Prevention Trivia games and hold conversations that focus on warning signs of a violent relationship.

Late last year, local foster care youth started creating posters and poetry that centered on teen dating violence. Their finished works will be showcased at the Suffolk County Executive Building in their schools in February, as will a clothesline project made from decorated orange t-shirts that was created to raise awareness for this troubling issue.

Additionally, members of The Retreat Teen Leadership Project will be out in full force.

“The Retreat is hosting The Retreat Leadership Project peer education and community service training workshops throughout February for teens on Tuesdays 5:30 to 7 p.m. at Southampton High School and on Wednesdays at The Retreat main offices in East Hampton,” she noted.

Southampton High School is celebrating #RespectWeek (Sunday, February 12th through Friday, February 17th) by completing a mural that honors The Retreat and participating in the NO MORE campaign, whose mission is to “raise public awareness and engagement around ending domestic violence and sexual assault.” The teens will educate their peers by presenting an outreach table, and students will also work together on a “Stick it To Love” mural that pays tribute to the One Love campaign, whose mission is to honor Yeardley Love, a senior lacrosse player at the University of Virginia who was beaten to death by her ex-boyfriend, by putting an end to relationship violence through “educating, empowering and activating campus communities in a movement for change.”

The Ross School in East Hampton will also take part in #RespectWeek by hosting a dress-down day and a Valentine’s Day flower fundraiser.

“Retreat Teen Leadership Project students are hosting awareness events at area schools, including ‘Stick it to Love’ and ‘ChalkforLove’ events at Southampton High School and Pierson in Sag Harbor,” Atkinson-Barnes explained. “The Ross School is hosting outreach tables, a ‘Wear Orange and Purple Day’ and a ‘Flowers for Love’ awareness event for The Retreat.”

If you’re a concerned parent who doesn’t know exactly how to speak to your child about relationship violence, The John Jermain Library in Sag Harbor will welcome The Retreat for “Healthy Relationships Don’t Hurt” – a workshop for parents and teens during “No More” week, on Thursday, March 9th at 6:30 p.m.

Throughout the year, The Retreat presents Education Program at local elementary, middle and high schools that raise awareness about the prevention of abuse in all relationships.

  • A Glimpse Inside…East Hampton’s Most Talked About New Construction, Now Complete

Just completed in August 2023, 6 Marley Lane has quickly become one of the Hamptons’ most talked about new constructions. Exclusively represented by The Vince Horcasitas Team at Saunders & Associates, to say they are excited about this rare new construction is an understatement.

Since its inception and throughout construction, the Hamptons real estate community has eagerly anticipated its completion. What has emerged at 6 Marley Lane is—almost impossibly—even more impressive in real life than in renderings.  @hamptonsrealestate @vinceinthehamptons

  • The History Behind The Two Most Prestigious Golf Courses in The Hamptons

With more than 140 golf courses across Long Island’s 118 Miles, the Hamptons is home to 15 of those courses two of which rank numbers 4 and 7 in the top 100 Golf Courses in the world. They say Long Island’s water makes for the best bagels, so it must be something in this soil that makes these famous greens.

  • Iconic Marders, More Than a Nursery

“Marders” is the high essence of a Hamptons Nursery and so much more. It is the epitome of success, situated on 40 acres of prime Bridgehampton real estate. Charlie Marder of 120 Snake Hollow Road, along with his wife Kathleen have built a monument that has been providing their expertise and services to the residents of the Hamptons for about fifty years.

The stories are now folklore. Back in the day, usually wearing his trademark suspenders, Charlie was ever ready to move the largest trees of the Hamptons whether they were to be planted, relocated, or removed. He once boasted to this reporter that he had the record for the widest load moved by the Shelter Island South Ferry. Charlie said he deposited a tree onto the ferry on one side and fetched it off the ferry on the other side, recalling, “The tree was wider than the ferry, sticking out on both sides.” @marderslandscaping

  • Discover Hamptons History with East Hampton Historical Society’s Guided Tours

We all know that September is the best month in the Hamptons. The summer renters have mostly gone (we’ll miss you!). The weather practically demands that you go out for a walk. Maybe you’ve been too busy at the beach or planning activities for the kids, but now that it’s September, take a stroll, stretch your legs, and explore the rich, beautiful history around the Hamptons.

The East Hampton Historical Society is hosting Guided Walking Tours around the Hamptons all September long, so stay a while and listen.

I love walking tours not just because of the guides, who are great storytellers, but the company and conversations sparked with other attendees. We’re the kind of people you’ll see, hands on hips, squinting to read the well-worn plaque on a historical monument. The people who read those brown signs, who pick up and read the local leaflets at a museum or hotel lobby.  @easthampton_histsoc
