Teens and Teen Dating Violence

Domestic violence affects teenagers.  From warning signs to a safety plan, it is critical to share this information with your own teenager, friend, or partner. Also, the teenagers link contains startling facts and a dating bill of rights. Remaining knowledgeable about domestic violence will help keep teenagers safe.  

On January 25, 2010, Congress approved S. Res. 373 designating February as "National Teen Dating Violence Awareness and Prevention Month."

Children

Violence in the home has a long lasting effect on children. Children that become victims of domestic violence are at risk for continuing the cycle of violence. However, education can reverse this process. Children need to know that the home is safe and not a place for violence.
