News from WRAP: Teen dating violence
Teen dating violence has become more recognized and there is a nationwide initiative to increase awareness and education about the dangers of teen dating abuse. In 2006 the first National Teen Dating Violence Awareness Week was held. Since then, the month of February has been recognized nationally for bringing awareness to teen dating violence. The phrase “it takes a village to raise a child” stands true to what we want for our youth and teens in all aspects of life. Teaching youth and teens about healthy boundaries and relationships with themselves and others is one of the most valuable life lessons we can give.
