Love is Respect
This site was designed for three purposes. First, to create the ultimate resource fostering healthy dating attitudes and relationships. Second, to provide a safe space for young people to access information and help in an environment that is designed specifically for them, and finally to ensure confidentiality and trust so young people feel safe and supported—online and off. The site contains articles on healthy dating, types of abuse that can occur in relationships, how to get help if they are in an unsafe/unhealthy relationship, and how they can take action and get involved in educating other teens about these issues. The information is thorough, yet directed towards teens and easily understandable. Definitely worth checking out!
