Teen Dating Violence: A Closer Look

Are you able to spot violence in a relationship? Do you know how to support a friend in an unhealthy relationship? To help answer these questions, Casa de Esperanza established Youth Amig@s, a program that engages Latinas in high school, creating a space for these questions to be addressed in a culturally responsive manner.  Youth Amig@s’ approach is to build capacity beyond just identifying the dynamics of teen dating violence and explore skills and resources needed to combat this problem.

The blog talk radio will explore:

• The warning signs of an unhealthy relationship
• The different types of abuse in relationships and how to support a friend that is experiencing an unhealthy relationship
• Consent and how culture influences this idea
