Ask The DA: Coping with teen dating violence
Recently my teenage daughter’s community college provided information on teen dating violence. There is someone that we would like to find counseling for that has left a relationship in which she was isolated from her friends and emotionally abused. Can you recommend where we can call for a referral for this young woman?
February is Teen Date Violence Awareness and Prevention Month which was created by Congress to give Americans the tools to prevent relationship abuse by building healthy relationships. Although teenagers may not be married, or even necessarily in serious relationships, dating physical abuse is considered an act of domestic violence.
