For those of you who may not know, February is Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month (DVAM). When we think of intimate partner violence, we tend to look at it as a common issue for adults. However, intimate partner violence affects the lives of our youth far more often than we think. According to LoveIsRespect.org, “one in three teens in the U.S. will experience physical, sexual or emotional abuse by someone they are in a relationship with before they become adults.”

It is imperative for social workers and service providers to work collaboratively in providing support and resources to our youth in an effort to help them become empowered adults. As this month comes to an end, the National Resource Center for Domestic Violence has orchestrated a global discussion on “Empowered Youth in the Margins: Activism to Action”.

If you are interested in learning more about teen dating violence, you can join the live twitter chat happening tonight on twitter using the hashtag #youthleaders. For more information on the organizations participating in the chat and how to engage in a live twitter chat, view the information below:

Host Organization

This chat will highlight  youth-led social justice efforts at the intersections of oppression and violence.
