- Identify public health strategies that utilize pop culture and media literacy to reach and involve youth in preventing teen dating violence and promoting healthy relationships
- Describe the benefits of youth informed strategies and adult-youth partnerships in activating and organizing youth in teen dating violence prevention and healthy relationship promotion
Description:
Youths know best the stresses and pressures their peers’ experience, which role models are heard, and what messages resonate most clearly. Panelists will explore how the middle school and teen years offer key moments of education for youth and the adults in their lives around teen dating violence prevention. Tweens and young teens look to certain adults and older peers for guidance as they learn to make healthy and responsible choices. Strategies will be shared to arm healthcare practitioners, parents, older teens and others with effective prevention tools to promote healthy relationships and steer teens away from unhealthy ones.
