Turning Point Domestic Violence Services is recognizing February as Teen Dating Violence (TDV) Awareness and Prevention Month. This year’s theme “Be About It” calls on us all to create a world free from interpersonal violence by offering young people support, resources, and healthy relationship education.
In 2022, Turning Point provided approximately 938 primary prevention presentations to 5,320 community youth.
As part of TDV Awareness Month, Turning Point is encouraging community members to participate in Wear Orange Day on Tuesday, Feb. 7 th to show solidarity in standing together against dating abuse. The agency encourages the community to post their support on social media and tag @TPDomesticVIolenceServices or to utilize the campaign to initiate important conversations with youth and other community members.
Additionally, the Turning Point Prevention Team will use TDV Awareness Month to engage teens in meaningful conversations about healthy relationships alongside regular prevention programming provided to middle and high school students throughout the area.

Based in Columbus, Turning Point is an agency serving survivors of interpersonal violence in Bartholomew, Brown, Decatur, Jackson, Johnson, and Shelby counties.
