Teen Digital Dating Violence Toolkit

We use technology daily to connect with friends and family, post photos and videos, or even to find out more information about health issues, current events or what’s happening in our community. Increasingly, teens are reporting that violence and abuse from current and ex dating partners is happening through text messages, social media and the distribution of nude or semi-nude images without consent. This is called “digital dating violence.” You may not know that digital dating violence is happening to you or to someone you know. Actually it’s OK that you don’t know, but it is NOT OK that it’s happening. This toolkit includes resources from various credible sources from organizations helping teens identify if digital dating violence is happening to them and provides information, tips and ideas for what to do and what kind of help is available.
