You Are The Best Resource for Teens.
Believe it or not, parents and mentors such as coaches and teachers may be the best resource for teens who find themselves in a violent or abusive relationship. Teens often turn to their peers first for support. However, those peers then turn to their own parents or mentors to share what is happening to their friend.
You Can Help, Even If Its Not Your Teen.
Even if it is not your teen who is in a violent or abusive relationship, the importance of your response in these situations cannot be underestimated.
Understand Abuse and Know the Resources.
Make sure you educate yourself about abuse and know the resources that may be available to teens in your community. Parents and mentors working together may be the best support available for teens who find themselves in a violent or abusive relationship.
