The Office on Women’s Health encourages teens, their parents/guardians, and those who care for or work with teens to talk about the characteristics and importance of building healthy dating relationships. If we act early to educate teens about healthy relationships, we can stop teen dating violence before it starts.

Together, we can help teens engage in conversations to help them learn how to make smart decisions in their dating life — decisions that will help shape the rest of their lives.
