Parents and caregivers play a powerful role in shaping what teens believe about love, respect, and safety. The way we show up, ask questions, and stay connected can help young people recognize unhealthy behavior and know they deserve better.

This Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month, let’s commit to being a steady, trusted presence in our teens’ lives — especially when relationships feel confusing or overwhelming.

If you or your teen need support, the Marjaree Mason Center is here to help. Call our 24/7 Crisis helpline at (559) 233-HELP (4357).

Teen dating violence doesn’t always leave visible scars. It can show up as pressure, control, threats, or constant monitoring — and too often, it’s mistaken for “normal” relationship behavior.

Swipe through to learn about some of the most common forms of teen dating violence, including physical, emotional, digital, sexual, financial, and social abuse.

If something here feels familiar, you’re not alone — and help is available. Healthy relationships should feel safe, respectful, and supportive, not controlling or frightening.

If you or someone you know needs support, the Marjaree Mason Center is here to help.

Nearly 14% of high school students across the country experience physical or sexual harm from a dating partner each year. Behind that number are real young people who deserve to feel safe, valued, and supported.

We’re thankful to Kings Canyon Unified School District for investing in prevention and education in four high schools and two middle schools. Collaborations like this help us reach students early, spark meaningful dialogue, and provide tools that promote respect and healthy connections.

Through the kNOw MORE® Teen Dating Violence Prevention Program, we’re working together to increase awareness, encourage positive relationship skills, and support youth throughout the district.

Healthy relationships are built on trust, respect, and feeling safe to be yourself. Love should never involve fear, pressure, or control — it should feel supportive, equal, and kind. Everyone deserves that.

If something in your relationship doesn’t feel right, you don’t have to handle it alone. We are here for you. Call our 24/7 confidential helpline at (559) 233-HELP or email help@mmcenter.org

About the Marjaree Mason Center

The Marjaree Mason Center (MMC) was founded by the YWCA in 1979 following the death of Marjaree Mason. Marjaree was a successful, loved woman about to graduate from Fresno State at the time her life was tragically taken by her ex-boyfriend. Her death galvanized the Fresno community into taking action to ensure no one would suffer the same fate. For over 40 years, the Center has served as Fresno County’s only dedicated provider of domestic violence shelter and support services, including education for victims and youth. At MMC, we support and empower adults and their children affected by domestic violence while also striving to prevent and end the cycle of abuse through education and advocacy. We hope that one day our services are no longer necessary in our community.
