We hope you’ll join us for this engaging and skills-focused training!
Teen dating violence affects 1 in 3 teens in the U.S., yet many young people don’t recognize the warning signs or know where to turn for support. As a community, we play an important role in helping teens build healthy relationships grounded in respect, boundaries, and safety.
At Sophia Center, we are committed to helping families and young people develop strong social‑emotional skills, strengthen communication, and recognize the signs of unhealthy or controlling behavior. Every conversation matters—and it’s never too late to start one.
✨ As we wrap up February, we recommit to:
Supporting youth and families with resources and education
Creating spaces where teens feel heard and safe
Partnering with schools and community programs to promote healthy relationships
Standing with survivors of all ages
If you or a young person in your life needs support, resources are available. You’re not alone. 💛
#TDVAM #HealthyRelationships #SupportTeens #SophiaCenter
At Sophia Center, we’re also beginning an internal system scan to better understand the programs, tools, and approaches that support healthy teen relationships and safe dating practices. We’re exploring what already exists in our community and beyond, what’s working well for families and teens, and where gaps may be preventing young people from getting the support they need. As we continue this learning, we welcome insight from parents, caregivers, educators, and community partners: What resources or conversations around healthy relationships would be most helpful for the teens in your life? Your lived experience and perspective can help shape the next steps in our exploration.

“I struggled everyday to get up and fake that all was well as I worked, raised a family and went to college. Sr. Sharon counseled me and helped me to explore my childhood to see why I was so depressed. Abuse was something I totally blocked out of my adult life.”
