Check for Respect:
Respect is the foundation of every healthy relationship.
Healthy relationships are rooted in respect, trust, and clear boundaries. The Check for Respect toolkit helps teens and young adults recognize what healthy love looks like, identify warning signs of abuse, and know where to turn for help.
Teen dating violence is a serious issue that affects young people across Los Angeles County and beyond. In fact, 1 in 12 high school students have reported experiencing physical dating violence and 1 in 10 have experienced sexual dating violence.
We know beliefs about love, gender roles, and respect are shaped early in life. By reaching youth now, we can encourage healthy relationships, before unhealthy patterns take root.
The Check for Respect: Teen Dating Violence Prevention toolkit is part of the LA County Department of Public Health Office of Violence Prevention's ongoing effort to address domestic and intimate partner violence in our communities.
