ALIVE’s mission is to provide counseling, emergency shelter, and other critical services to adults and children impacted by domestic abuse, as well as to increase awareness in order to create a supportive community.
Education about healthy teen dating relationships is an important component of ALIVE’s mission.
Did you know that 1 in 13 high school students report having experienced physical dating violence in the past year? Because 33% of teens involved in abusive relationships never disclose it to anyone, the extent of the problem is even greater. ALIVE partners with educators and groups serving young adults to help stop the spread of these dangerous, yet far too common, situations.
You can help.
