"Major Medical Breakthrough" focuses on the role that all health care providers can play in preventing domestic violence if they ask their patients and clients about it. "You the Man" is a play that engages bystanders in addressing unhealthy teen dating and sexual assault, addressing high school, college and community audiences.
