This resolution advocates for the designation of February 2026 as "National Teen Dating Violence Awareness and Prevention Month." It highlights the widespread issue of teen dating violence, which encompasses physical, sexual, psychological aggression, and stalking, with a particular emphasis on the growing problem of technology-facilitated abuse like cyberstalking and doxing. Statistics from the CDC and other sources reveal that a significant percentage of teens experience various forms of dating violence, often with long-term negative impacts on their well-being. The resolution underscores that teen dating violence is a preventable public health crisis and stresses the importance of early education for middle school students and their parents on building healthy relationships. It supports primary prevention programs, such as those that teach adolescent men about nonviolent relationships, and recognizes the critical role of resources like the National Teen Dating Abuse Helpline. Ultimately, it calls upon individuals, schools, law enforcement, and community organizations to observe the month with appropriate programs and activities to promote awareness and prevention across the country.
