It’s a good thing that corporations are recognizing the dangers of teen dating violence. I read this news report that Verizon Wireless pitched in $10,000 to the Council on Sexual Assault and Domestic Violence’s latest campaign targeted at teens.
The news item says:
The money will help educate young adults about healthy dating relationships, anger management and positive communication, to keep a new generation informed through social media.
CSA&DV Executive Director Margaret Sanders said, “It’s important to educate them around what is normal behavior, how good relationships are developed, and really how to recognize controlling behavior that often leads to abusive relationships.”
Iowa Attorney General Tom Miller added “Now I think we realize that there’s more psychological, physical and sexual abuse in dating relationships, and because they are so private and sensitive, as was mentioned before, people rarely talk about the situation when they’ve gone wrong.”
The 10-month campaign is part of Verizon’s ongoing partnership with CSA&DV that includes their HopeLine phone recycling program.
This was a good move by Verizon as it will help a safe dating environment for teens. Don’t you agree?
