Teen Dating Violence Awareness Resources
February is Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month, an opportunity to come together as leaders in our communities and rededicate ourselves to protecting our youth from unhealthy, abusive and violent relationships.
LADA Resources
Public safety starts with prevention. Intimate partner violence often escalates. If we intervene early, we can help prevent future violence.
We are here for you, whether you are a teen, caregiver, educator, lawyer, medical professional or community member with regular interaction with youth.
Our Bureau of Victim Services works with victims and their parents or caregivers to explain their rights and legal protections and offer trauma-informed resources. You do not need to have an active court case to seek our services.
Together, we can keep our youth safe.
