February is Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month

​February is Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month!  We are busy teaching health relationships at Lakeland High School, Prairie Heights High School, Westview High School. Prairie Heights Middle School and Angola High School. 

"Safe Dates" is an evidence based curriculum that educates youth and adolescents on how to identify and prevent dating violence. 

The facilitator teaches at the Freshman level during the Health class each Spring and Fall. 

Some of the subjects covered in this curriculum include:

• How to Handle Conflict
• How to Communicate Better
• Healthy vs. Unhealthy Relationships
• Technology - Social Media and how to stay safe
• Red Flags of Dating Abuse
• Typical Dating Behaviors
• What is Consent?
• Gender Stereotyping and Dating Abuse

These are just a few subjects that we hit on when we talk to teens about healthy relationships. 

Let's celebrate our youth and teach them how to have good, healthy relationships so that we can put an end to domestic violence.
