Dating violence impacts millions of teens each year, with 1 in 3 U.S. teens experiencing physical, sexual or emotional abuse from someone with whom they’re in a relationship. The vast majority of parents believe teen dating violence is not an issue, while only 30% of teens in an abusive relationship ever tell anyone about the abuse. That abuse can affect the development of healthy relationships as teens grow into adulthood.  

Teen dating violence can be prevented with a focus on developing healthy relationships, reducing risk factors and fostering protective factors. This workshop will look at the facts surrounding teen dating violence and the reduction of risk factors, identify the protective factors and discuss the development of healthy relationships for teens.
