IMPACT CAMPAIGN
By partnering with educators, social workers, activists, and community groups, The Last Drop is kickstarting an international conversation about relationship safety.

THE ISSUE:
We don’t teach young people the early signs of relationship abuse, so they often suffer immense trauma before they even know what’s happening.
