Escalation Workshop
Raising Awareness of Relationship Abuse
One Love Foundation

One Love Foundation works to ensure everyone understands the difference between a healthy and unhealthy relationship.
Escalation Workshops at Knox College
October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. To help raise awareness, Knox College will be having Escalation Workshops during weeks 6 and 7 in October. Dates, times and Locations are listed below.
The Escalation Workshop is a powerful, film-based workshop that helps to open people’s eyes to the warning signs of relationship abuse.
The workshop consists of a film, Escalation, followed by a guided discussion led by a trained facilitator. The film follows a college-aged couple through the very sweet beginnings of their relationship and shows how unhealthy behaviors can escalate into abuse.
After watching the film, workshop participants dive into a discussion about the film—led by trained facilitators—discussing the early warning signs of relationship abuse and what they can do if they witness or experience these warning signs.
98% of Escalation Workshop participants would recommend it to a friend.

Thats Not Love Campaign
Click here to view the chapters which include:
- Behind the Post - Social media can skew our view of the relationships around us and, in some cases, influence our decisions to stay in unhealthy ones. Explore all 10 signs of an unhealthy relationship and start the conversation with your friends.
- Because I Love You - Such a simple phrase can take on a different meaning in an unhealthy relationship; escalating from a statement of care to one of control. Learn more about controlling statements and how you can empower your friends to make a difference.
- Couplets - The Couplets define the difference between a good relationship and an unhealthy one. If you see three or more of these warning signs in your relationship, it’s a problem. Don’t be ashamed to tell someone when #thatsnotlove.
- Asterisk - Read the fine print. If your partner uses phrases like, “I love you” or “I’m sorry” to manipulate a situation, #thatsnotlove.
- Love Labyrinth - Feeling trapped in the Love Labyrinth is a very real and frightening symptom of relationship abuse. One way out is awareness.
- #Okforpetsnotpartners - Pets can and will take advantage of our love. And we forgive them because they’re cute and fluffy and don’t know any better. But people should know better.
