February is Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month

 

Each February, NCEDSV joins national efforts to raise awareness about teen dating violence and promote healthy relationships among youth. Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month (TDVAM) is a time to uplift youth voices, engage communities, and provide resources that empower teens to recognize and prevent dating abuse. Through education, advocacy, and collaboration, we’re working to build a safer, more supportive future for Nevada’s youth.
