2022 | National Teen Dating Violence Awareness & Prevention Month

During February’s National Teen Dating Violence Awareness & Prevention Month, teens and those who support them join together to raise awareness to teen dating violence. Dating violence is more common than many people think. One in three teens in a dating relationship experience abuse – emotional, sexual or physical.

By joining together each February, we can empower young people with knowledge and skills to increase awareness and stop dating abuse before it starts! By learning about unhealthy and healthy relationships, and especially sharing how friends can support friends in abusive relationships, every teen can make a difference.

Order FREE campaign materials today for your school, youth organization, or community (materials will be ready for shipping in late January). All materials are FREE for OVW Rural grantees or potential grantees (postage required) and FREE for Idaho secondary schools (postage waived with coupon code IdahoSchools) as long as supplies are available.
