Addressing Teen Dating Violence: Understanding & Prevention

Everyone deserves respect, acceptance, trust and love. As adults, we sometimes struggle to accept this truth. Passing on these values to young people is crucial for their wellbeing. Teen dating violence is more common than most people know.

Join us for a one-hour webinar to gain valuable insights and practical tools to aid the young people in your life who may be affected by teen dating violence. Our presentation will center around the teen power and control wheel, dive into the unique characteristics of domestic violence among teens and provide clarity on what teen dating violence is.

By the end of this session, you’ll feel empowered to offer support, create safety plans, and provide guidance to young people. Together, we can create environments where respect, safety and love are not just ideals but lived realities for every young person.
