An interactive workshop on teen dating violence
In recognition of Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month in February 2018, the Prince George’s County Family Justice Center will partner with the Prince George’s County Memorial Library System branches for an interactive workshop on teen dating violence. This film-based workshop will open the eyes of teenagers to the red flags and warning signs of relationship abuse. Escalation, a film created by the One Love Foundation follows a teenage couple through the beginning, blissful stages of their relationship and depicts how unhealthy behaviors can escalate into relationship abuse. Recent statistics show one in three adolescents in the U.S. is a victim of physical, sexual, emotional or verbal abuse from a dating partner, a figure that far exceeds rates of other types of youth violence. Only 33% of teens who were in a violent relationship ever told anyone about the abuse. Unfortunately, this trend is expected to rise, especially among African American and Hispanic teens.
At the conclusion of the film, participants will be given the opportunity to engage in a discussion about the film with a trained panel and moderator in order to discuss the red flags associated with teen dating violence.
