February is Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month



1 in 3 adolescents in the US is a victim of physical, emotional, verbal or sexual abuse from a dating partner, a figure that far exceeds rates of other types of youth violence. 

The month long theme for TDVAM 2021 is Know Your Worth. Know Your Worth focuses on healthy relationships and self-empowerment for all. Join us on Tuesday, February 9th for Wear Orange Day. On this day, we will bring awareness to dating violence among teens and the hope for every young person to know that they deserve a healthy, loving relationship.  

-Sarah, Prevention Program Coordinator for SafeHouse
