Prevention and Education
Teaching healthy relationships because this generation deserves to live free from violence.
Prevention
During the pre-teen and teen years, youth begin to learn the skills needed to create and maintain healthy relationships. These social skills include how to manage feelings and emotions and how to communicate in a healthy way with respect and equality. Unhealthy, abusive, or violent relationships can have severe consequences with both short- and long-term negative effects on a developing teen that can carry into adulthood. Supporting the development of healthy, respectful, and nonviolent relationships have the potential to reduce the occurrence of teen dating violence and prevent its harmful and long-lasting effects on individuals, their families, and communities.
To prevent and reduce sexual violence many strategies focus on reducing the likelihood that a person will engage in sexual violence.
