It's no secret that dealing with TDV (Teen Dating Violence) is part of our mission. Teens often perceive behaviors such as teasing and name-calling as typical aspects of relationships. However, these actions can escalate into abusive patterns and potentially lead to severe violence. Many adolescents hesitate to report unhealthy dynamics due to fear of disclosing their experiences to family and friends.
The prevalence of teen dating violence is concerning, as highlighted by the CDC's Youth Risk Behavior Survey in 2021, which revealed alarming statistics among U.S. high school students who had been in a relationship within the previous year. About 1 in 10 experienced physical or sexual dating violence. You can learn more about on our Teen Dating Violence page.
What is Operation Prom Prosperity and Homecoming Heroes?

Parents, educators, and community members all play a vital role in positively influencing children and young adults.
