Teen dating violence is, unfortunately, a widespread issue. 1 in 3 teens experience teen dating violence in the U.S., and about 1.5 million high school students nationwide experience physical abuse from a dating partner in a single year.
Our Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month (TDVAM) 2022 theme, “Be Kind to Your Mind”, aims to highlight the importance of supporting youth mental health, and to bring greater awareness to mental health resources, tools, and information. This focus will not only draw attention to the increased (and increasingly complex) mental health struggles youth are facing, but will also help to build capacity in the community to provide effective, empathetic support and access to resources. Encouraging healthy relationships and communities starts by supporting the health and well-being of individuals.

WHAT THE MASK DOESN’T COVER: SUPPORTING THE EMOTIONAL WELLNESS OF YOUTH DURING THE TIME OF COVID-19
The continued pandemic has created increasingly negative impacts on the mental health of the adolescent and teen population. The social isolation, disruption to pre-pandemic activities, and escalated stress on families have led to more young people reporting mental health and substance use concerns. Access to crisis centers and mental health therapy can help reduce the impact of these issues. Partnering with WID, 211 Broward will discuss the importance of mental health support and the availability of services and resources in our community.
