February is Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month

Data from CDC’s 2019 Youth Risk Behavior Survey indicates, that 1 in 12 U.S high school students experience physical dating violence and 1 in 12 U.S high school students experience sexual dating violence. Supporting healthy, nonviolent relationships reduces TDV (Teen Dating Violence) and prevents long team, lasting effects on individuals such as depression, anxiety, substance use, and antisocial behavior. It is critical for our young people to begin learning skills to create and maintain healthy relationships, including managing feelings and communication in a healthy way.
To learn more about TDV and how you can help yourself or someone you care about, please use the resources below.
