Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month (TDVAM) is an opportunity to speak to the young people in our lives about healthy relationships and to show those who have been impacted by teen dating violence that they are not alone. This February, the Office for the Prevention of Domestic Violence (OPDV) is focusing on the dangers of technology-facilitated abuse, and launching our online interactive story, “Choose Your Own Adventure: Spot the Flags.” We invite you to follow and share our social media, participate in our online interactive story, wear orange on February 11 for Teen Dating Violence Awareness Day, and use the resources on the TDVAM page to help you be an ally this February and all year long!
