Recognizing and Responding to Teen Dating Violence Toolkit

Recognizing and responding to teen dating violence requires an awareness of the prevalence of dating violence, indicators of abuse in relationships, and steps to take if someone is experiencing dating violence. Dating violence is often overlooked due to preconceived ideas about what abuse looks like in relationships or the false assumption that it is not prevalent in young people's relationships. This toolkit begins with an overview of teen dating violence for all audiences and the subsequent sections provide relevant information directed to parents and students as well as school staff. Case managers and advocates can navigate the modules for relevant resources.
