Know the issues they face so they won't have to face them alone.

Being a teenager is filled with excitement, independence, growth, and challenge. Unfortunately it can also be a dangerous time. Consider these sobering statistics about teenage life in the U.S.:

• One in three teens is a victim of physical, verbal, sexual or emotional abuse from a dating partner.
• 96% of teens report mental/emotional abuse in their dating relationships.
• One in four college women will be sexually assaulted in college.
• 82% of parents feel confident they could recognize if their teen was experiencing dating violence, but more than half of these parents could not identify the warning signs of abuse.
• 62% of teens report verbally abusive relationships, but only 34% of their parents knew of it. 

The PARENT AWARE seminar brings the issue of teen dating violence to light and provides practical suggestions for facing these issues head-on with your teen. We can help.
