Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month may be coming

Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month may be coming to an end, but the conversations continue!

One powerful way we can support young people is by reminding them of their worth. Affirmations help children and teens build confidence, set boundaries, and understand that love should feel safe and respectful.

When young people believe they deserve healthy relationships, they are more likely to recognize red flags and reach out for support. 💚

These conversations matter all year long. Let’s keep them going!

Spot the warning signs! ⚠️

If a young person begins withdrawing, reacting more intensely, or struggling with sleep and focus while gaming becomes more frequent or harder to step away from, it may be time to check in! 🎮

Pay attention to patterns and emotional shifts so support can come sooner. When you lead with curiosity and compassion, you create space for young people to feel heard and safe enough to open up!

Gaslighting can sound like someone constantly rewr

Gaslighting can sound like someone constantly rewriting what happened, dismissing your feelings, or turning the blame back on you.

Gaslighting is NOT okay! 🚫

If you find yourself second guessing your memory or apologizing for things that are not your fault, pause. Take a breath. Trust yourself.

Healthy relationships are built on respect, not confusion!

☎️ If you or someone you know is in harm, help is available!
