Helping Teens Learn Skills to Build Healthy Relationships for Life
By Luis Canseco, CRC Domestic Violence Education and Prevention Program Manager
The first Teen Dating Violence Awareness event that was held on February 1st, Teens for Healthy Relationships Conference 2023 was quite a success. Thanks to the community’s support, there was an amazing turnout, and close to 100 teens participated.
The event aimed to raise awareness about the impact of dating violence on teens and to educate attendees on ways to recognize and prevent it. The event was filled with engaging activities, game prizes, informative presentation, and an inspiring speaker who shared his personal experiences and insights on the topic.
The passion and dedication of the team helped make this event possible, Community Resource Center, North County Lifeline, One Safe Place and the San Diego County District Attorney’s Office. Their contributions were invaluable. Everyone’s generosity and commitment to this cause made it possible to bring this important message to the community.
The attendees left the event with a better understanding of teen dating violence and the steps they can take to prevent it in their communities.
The event was just one step towards creating a safer and more aware community and a brighter future for our youth.
