Teen dating violence has extended into the digital realm. Teens in relationships often use social media to monitor, control or intimidate their partners. Harassing and abusive behaviors can significantly impact your mental health, safety, and overall well-being. This session will expose common myths around consent, risk factors, and red flags for abusive behaviors. We will discuss the power of social media and how influencers can sometime give unsafe information. We will give relevant tips for staying safe in your relationships (romantic or friendships).
