Dating violence is a significant issue among adolescents, with 1 in 4 experiencing verbal, physical, emotional, or sexual abuse from their dating partners. It is crucial to address this problem before it escalates, and Safe Dates is an evidence-based program designed to help teens recognize the signs of controlling, manipulative, or abusive relationships. The program focuses on the critical preteen and teen years when young people are developing the skills needed to create and foster positive relationships. Safe Dates is highly engaging and interactive, reflecting the issues that today's teens face. The revised curriculum includes updated statistics and facts on dating abuse through technology, as well as all handouts and parent resources on a USB flash drive. Additionally, a new Families for Safe Dates program has been developed to get families talking about healthy dating, relationships, and dating abuse. By implementing Safe Dates, we can empower young people to develop the skills they need to navigate healthy relationships and prevent dating violence from occurring in the first place.
