For Advocates & Service Providers

As advocates and community service providers, you can play an important role in educating teens about dating violence. Whether you partner with your local schools to offer a dating violence prevention program in the classroom or you offer prevention programming in other community settings, you can play a key role in helping to reduce dating violence among teens.

The Respect WORKS! model can be easily adapted to for use in community settings such as Boys & Girls Clubs and after-school programs. Domestic violence and sexual assault experts working at rape crisis centers, domestic violence coalitions and domestic violence shelters will benefit  from using the Respect WORKS! model in their local prevention and intervention programs.
