Teens for Healthy Youth Educate Their Peers on Teen Dating Violence

Teens for Healthy Youth (THY) Bluffton High School educated their peers on Teen Dating Violence (TDV) during National Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month. THY developed their skits to show what healthy relationships with boundaries look like. These skits were featured in No Cap Student News and were viewed by 1,300 students and 200 teachers and staff members.

The TDV Quiz and Fact Card were posted on students’ grade-level Google Classroom so all students could take the quiz and view the fact card.

Peer-to-peer education and sharing resources on teen substance use and related risk behaviors is a strategy in LCAHY’s 12-month action plan under Strategy 1 Providing Information under the Seven Strategies of Community Level Change.
