A Mission to Save Lives
"Quite simply, we sincerely believe that if our daughter Gabby Petito had learned about domestic violence, whether in school, through conversations, or from a book like Drs. Wexler and Meichenbaum’s Choose Him Wisely, her life could have been very different.
As Gabby’s parents, we reflect on all the warning signs of potential violence, clearly identified in this practical and user-friendly book. We urge all parents and grandparents to encourage their children, daughters and sons alike, to read this book before making important decisions about choosing a partner.
The authors provide clear, actionable guidance for recognizing warning signs, trusting instincts, asking important questions, observing behavior patterns, and seeking input from trusted friends or family. The book also helps explain why some victims stay in unsafe relationships, how to exit safely, and why some individuals engage in abusive behavior.
In short, Choose Him Wisely is full of compassion, wisdom, and practical information that can save lives. We strongly endorse this book in honor of Gabby’s memory."
--Nichole and Jim Schmidt, mother and stepfather of Gabby Petito, Founders of the Gabby Petito Foundation
