The Project
The Idaho Teen Dating Violence Awareness & Prevention Project is a collaborative effort of the Idaho Coalition Against Sexual & Domestic Violence, St. Luke’s Health Care Systems, the Idaho Department of Education, Idaho School Counselors Association, Silver Sage Girl Scouts, Idaho Legal Aid Services, Treasure Valley YMCA and Interfaith Alliance of Idaho to educate teens and the statewide community on teen dating violence.

The Teens
The Idaho Teen Dating Violence Advisory Council is comprised of twenty Idaho high school students. During National Teen Dating Violence Awareness Week in February 2007, the Advisory Council members sponsored activities in their schools to increase awareness.

Be a part of the solution
Students and student organizations can help increase awareness and prevention of teen dating violence in your school or community by organizing activities:

  • School assemblies
  • Presentations at community or faith-based youth organizations
  • Pledge wall
  • T-shirt contest
  • Community forums for parents and teens
  • Designating one in three teens with an arm band to highlight the prevalence of dating abuse
  • Distributing posters and brochures throughout their communities

If you are interested in leading activities in your school, distributing posters or brochures in your community, or participating on a community, regional, or statewide teen dating violence advisory council, contact Kelly Miller at kmiller@idvsa.org.
