National Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month seeks to shine a light on these practices with the purpose of educating and informing to break this cycle of abuse.

While this is often a hushed topic, the number of teens in the US who have experienced dating violence is very troubling. Some studies have shown that up to 19% of American teens have known the trauma of physical or s*xual violence in romantic relationships, including stalking and harassment whether in-person or online.

One of the most important ways to observe National Teen Dating Violence Month is to get more people educated, particularly teens and their families, about the warning signs that dating violence may be happening. Consider some of these facts and signs about abusive relationships and get help if you or someone you know is experiencing these:

Isolation from friends and family, often with possessiveness or controlling behavior

Frequently being put down or minimized in front of others

Emotional outbursts, mood swings, temper or rage

Any form of physical harm, including pressure/force to have s*x

Why is NBHAAD important?
-Black communities face unique barriers to accessing HIV prevention and care services.
-In 2021, Black people represented 40% of new HIV diagnoses in the U.S.
-HIV has a devastating impact on Black youth
