Teen Dating Violence
Each year, a week in February is designated National Teen Dating Violence Awareness and Prevention Week. This week is dedicated to educating the public about dating violence among teens. This year marked the fourth annual observance of this awareness week.
The U.S. Senate's "Teen Dating Violence Awareness and Prevention Week" resolutions call on government representatives and agencies, private organizations and public officials to promote activities in their respective communities that raise awareness of the high incidence of teen dating violence that occurs among our teens every day, as well as prevention strategies (Teen Dating Violence Awareness and Prevention Web site, U.S. Senator Mike Crapo).
