What is kNOw MORE?

The kNOw MORE program uses focus-led discussions that center on healthy relationships and dating violence awareness. Our Prevention and Education Team works with middle and high school students to empower them with the knowledge they need to identify and prevent abuse, both in their own relationships and in the relationships of others.

The primary goal of kNOw MORE is to increase students' knowledge of healthy and unhealthy relationships and encourage them to become leaders on their campuses. We inspire creativity by asking students to think outside the box and developing activities that engage their peers in learning about respectful relationships and warning signs of abuse.

What is Teen Dating Violence?

Teen Dating Violence is defined as a pattern of abusive behaviors used to exert control and power over a dating partner. It can affect anyone, regardless of gender, race, or sexual orientation, and it often starts in subtle ways. Teen dating violence can manifest in various forms, including physical, emotional, sexual, or digital abuse.

February is Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month: Empowering Teens to Build Healthy Relationships

Every February, we observe Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month (TDVAM), a time to reflect on the importance of fostering healthy relationships and raising awareness about the dangers of teen dating violence (TDV). According to studies, 1 in 3 teens will experience some form of dating abuse, and the effects can be long-lasting, impacting their emotional well-being and future relationships. It's crucial that we come together as a community to educate teens, parents, and adults about the signs of TDV, how to prevent it, and how to support those who may be experiencing it.
