Equally as important to beginning the dialogue regarding teen dating violence are the steps taken to assess student knowledge before and after they have received prevention education; this involves filling in the gaps that exist as a result of distorted beliefs regarding love and healthy relationships. A multifaceted prevention approach is necessary to dispel the recurring myths around teen dating violence and to educate teens about abuse.Teens often have difficulty recognizing verbal and emotional abuse, or do not have enough experience in relationships to know that the abusive behavior is not normal or healthy. Aphesis can help you to increase and reinforce awareness regarding dating abuse, while improving students self-concept, relationship attitude and behavior.
