Young people, beginning to date for the first time, aren’t always exposed to healthy relationship models, and some cause harm to others as a result. In the U.S., one in three young people between 14 and 20 report abusing their partners. There is increased attention on the role of schools in intervening when they witness this behavior—so what are the most effective responses? Join us as we explore accountability for young people who have committed harm. When tweeting, please use the hashtag #TeenDVAccountability.
