The Problem
Parents do not recognize the signs of dating abuse.
The Solution
Talk about it. Start a conversation with friends, at your local school, and at home about what it means to be in a healthy relationship and why it’s important. The more we talk about it, the more awareness we raise, which may inspire teens to open up about their experiences.
How You Can Help
Understand the warning signs of dating abuse, talk about healthy relationships with your teens, and spread the word to fellow parents.
