February is Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month, and bringing the issues that often remain in the dark into the light provides the opportunity to stop cycles of harm. Citizen Potawatomi Nation House of Hope Prevention Specialist Kayla Woody believes education is the best tool.
“We as a society have normalized it,” she said. “We have got to get the information out there to our communities. We’ve got to get it out there to our parents, to our teens, our teachers, youth pastors and community leaders so they can start showing our children what healthy relationships look like.”

February is Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month and the following is a perspective on the topic penned by Deb Greenwood, president/CEO of the Bridgeport, CT-based Center for Family Justice.
February is the month of hearts, flowers, candy, and romance.
Beyond the sweet remembrances that can make this month so special, February is also Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month.
That makes this month the perfect time for parents and guardians to begin a conversation with the adolescents in their lives about the importance of safe, healthy relationships.
