February is Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month (TDVAM); this year’s campaign theme is, “Be About It.” Let’s bring attention to dating abuse before it starts.

Join us in supporting love is respect’s 2023 Respect Week, happening on February 6th through 10th. Here are some ways to be involved:

• learn the signs of teen dating violence
• talk with the youth in your family and friend circles about healthy relationships, healthy boundaries, and consent
• post on your favorite social channels about #tdvam, using the hashtag for this year’s theme, #beaboutit

If you or someone you know needs help or has questions about services for victims and survivors of violence, please call our main office/crisis center at 340.773.9272 for more information. Visit loveisrespect.org for more information on their TDVAM activities.
