Teen Dating Violence

Teen Dating violence is on the rise and there is something we can do about it! 

According to the CDC, about 1 in 10 teens who have been on a date have also been physically abused by a boyfriend or girlfriend in the last year. Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month is a national effort to raise awareness and protect teens from violence. 

Parents play a big role in teaching kids about healthy relationships. By modeling healthy behavior and having conversations about what works and what doesn't work in a relationship. 
Unfortunately, many teens have relationships that are unhealthy. Sadly, about 1 in 10 teens who have been on a date have also been:
  • Physically abused (hit, pushed, or slapped) by someone they’ve gone out with
  • Sexually abused (kissed, touched, or forced to have sex without wanting to) by someone they’ve dated

The good news is, you can help your teen develop strong, respectful relationships. Start by talking with your child about how to:
  • Set expectations for how they want to be treated
  • Recognize when a relationship is unhealthy
  • Support friends dealing with unhealthy relationships

​Talking about healthy relationships is a great way to show that you are available to listen and answer questions. Together, you can agree on clear rules about dating to help keep your teen safe. As a parent of a teenager or young adult its important we keep lines of communication open. That they know we are safe place to land when dealing with the challenges of life. 


Together we can #StopTraffickingToday!
