Post About It

Raising awareness of dating abuse doesn’t have to be hard. It can be as simple as posting a message – online, at school, in the grocery store. We’ve collected the resources to make it even easier.

Post Online

During February update your status to be:

  • February is Teen Dating Violence Awareness and Prevention Month. One in three young people experience abuse in their relationships. You can help raise awareness today – visit http://wwww.teenDVmonth.org for more information!
  • Love has many definitions, but abuse isn't one of them. Celebrate February as Teen Dating Violence Awareness and Prevention Month and help young people across the country have safe and healthy relationships. Visit http://www.teenDVmonth.org for more information.

Post one of these messages on Twitter to further spread your message:

  • Help young people break the cycle of abuse in their relationships. http://www.teenDVmonth.org
  • 1 in 3 teens experiences abuse in their relationships. Help break the cycle of violence. http://www.teendvmonth.org
