Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month

Please be advised that this episode carries a trigger warning for domestic violence and covers topics that some listeners may find upsetting.

There are many conversations surrounding what education on domestic violence and sexual assault in schools should look like, but has anyone ever considered what the students want? February is National Teen Dating Violence Awareness and Prevention Month (TDVAM), a month-long campaign focused on raising awareness about teen dating abuse. This is a problem that does not only impact teens but also their friends, parents, and communities. To help us unpack this complex topic is TCFV Youth Board Member Mackenzie Splawn, the outreach manager for a non-profit called First Step of Wichita Falls, which aims to eliminate domestic violence and sexual assault and provides a haven and support for survivors. Being a teen, Mackenzie provides a unique perspective as we delve into what students need regarding domestic violence and sexual abuse education and what schools could be doing differently. We discuss the type of conversations parents and teachers should be having with kids and why young people may be hesitant to talk about sex and relationships. We explore what schools should include in the curriculum, why we should trust young people, removing restrictions for educators to do their job, and much more. Tune in to hear more from this special conversation with Mackenzie Splawn.
