February is Teen Dating Violence Action Month. One action that we can all take this month is to start talking about dating, whether those be conversations about what we look for in a relationship, what our boundaries are, or the examples of dating we see in the media. For this episode, the Sarah's Inn Prevention Team met up for a roundtable discussion about what they wish they knew when they were teens about dating. They also share tips they have for teens navigating the dating world in the present. Whether you are a teen yourself, a parent of a teen,someone who works with youth, or you are simply curious, this episode has something for you.
