"Dating violence is more common than people think, especially among teens and young adults: one in three teens in the US will experience physical, sexual, or emotional abuse from someone they're in a relationship with," Loveisrespect reports.

Doorways' emerging Prevention Program aims to change social norms and conditions so sexual and intimate partner violence is less likely to happen.

Targeting youth, programming is designed to shift attitudes, behaviors, and norms that support and perpetuate the root causes of violence by promoting healthy behavior and communities.

Wear orange or use our virtual background on February 9th to raise awareness about teen dating violence and the resources available to youth!

Add the image to Zoom or Teams, and use our talking points to tell your colleagues, friends, and family about it.
