Keeping Our Community Safe and Informed – Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month
Overview of Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month

Helpful Tips for Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month

- Promote healthy relationships: Encourage respect, open communication, boundaries, and consent as the foundation of all relationships.
- Speak up and seek help: Remind teens that dating violence is never their fault and that trusted adults, counselors, or helplines can provide support.
- Use your voice: Participate in awareness activities, wear orange, share resources, or start conversations that help break the silence around teen dating violence.
- Support friends: If you’re concerned about a friend, listen without judgment, believe them, and help connect them with professional resources.
