February is Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month![]()
(Some of the following information has been provided by Catalyst Domestic Violence Services)
With Valentine Day in February, thoughts of love are in the air and you may be thinking "what will I get from my partner or what should I get them?" With decisions to be made, you could purchase a heart full of chocolate, a stuffed bear holding a heart, or a bouquet of flowers. Why not think instead, talk to your partner about "Appropriate Teen Dating Awareness."
February is dedicated to Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month. When we think about dating, the furthest thing from our mind could be that maybe we have gotten ourselves into a relationship that is not healthy. How do we know when we are in a relationship that is healthy vs unhealthy?
If you think you or someone you know is in an unhealthy relationship, stop by the Counseling Office to see one of the counselors or you can call 1-800-895-8476 24/7 days a week.
February 9th is National Wear Orange Day. Wear orange to show your support for teen dating violence awareness and prevention.
