Preventing intimate partner violence (IPV) begins with ensuring that young people’s first relationships are healthy ones. IPV is an important determinant of health and well-being and often begins in adolescence with conflict in relationships. The Building Healthy Teen Relationships program will support the creation and evaluation of comprehensive community-based models of prevention that aim to decrease relationship violence and increase positive, protective relationship skills. |
