In an effort to shine a light on teen dating violence, Help of Door County is taking a proactive approach by offering area youth an educational opportunity. The effort is designed to curb teen dating abuse before it starts. Executive Director Steve Vickman says during “Teen Dating Violence Awareness” month, the organization is doing something new this year.
About one-third of teens will experience some type of physical, sexual or emotional abuse by someone who they are in a relationship with, according to Vickman.
