February is Teen Dating Violence Awareness & Prevention Month (TDVAPM)

February is Teen Dating Violence Awareness & Prevention Month (TDVAPM), and this 2022 at Human Options, we are getting ready to launch our awareness campaign in hopes to engage our teens, families, networks and communities. Often times, teen relationships are overlooked and seen as ‘less serious’ when compared with adult relationships. However, studies show that 1 in 3 teens will experience some type of abuse by an intimate partner. Because of this staggering statistic, we are preparing for our Love Shouldn’t Hurt campaign this February 2022.

Join us starting February 1^st and all-month long to shine a line on Teen Dating Violence Awareness & Prevention Month and promote #HEALTHYLOVE !

This year’s campaign includes taking action by wearing our orange button on your sleeve to stand against teen violence and promote #HealthyLove”. With educational workshops, conferences, social media posts, a TDVAM toolkit with facts and statistics about Teen Dating Violence, there are many fun ways to engage this month! Don’t forget to register for our free 7^th Annual Love Shouldn’t Hurt Teen Conference held on February 17^th via zoom.
