February is Dating Violence Awareness Month, a national effort to raise awareness about the impacts of dating abuse and encourage communities to support teens and young adults in seeking healthy relationships.
Though these conversations are important to have year-round, February gives us the opportunity to shine a light on dating abuse and inspire conversations about healthy relationships in order to stop violence before it starts.
1 in 3 young people will experience physical, sexual, or emotional abuse by someone they are in a relationship with. Everyone deserves a healthy relationship.
Here are 5 ways you can take action to prevent dating violence and promote healthy relationships this February:
Everyone has a part in ending dating abuse. We recognize that while love has many definitions, abuse should never be one of them. Make the commitment to practice healthy love and encourage others to do the same.
We are committed to providing free, safe, and confidential services to victims of dating violence. If you are experiencing dating violence, please call our HELPLine 24/7 at 512-396-4357. HCWC’s Counseling & Resource Center has a counselor specifically focused on Dating Violence and our Prevention Educators are available to presentations and education about dating violence.

Doncha love it when a spooky author starts using words the word "we" . . .?
Buh, buh whahappend to Bubba, the global cause of all scientific Abuse ?
Or have "we" now devolved into no-fault transsexual non-binary oblivion?
"We recognize that while abuse has many definitions, abusive definitions should never be one of them."
Hence due a leftist obsession which cannot support itself nor is capable of identifying the cause other
than simply blaming others, you, Ms. Nicholson, survive by feeding off the 'crisis' rather than "offending"
those actually creating it. No, you cannot admit this. But you do it, yes. More slutting, more anal "pride"
and more child transsexuals freed from the constraints of biological slavery. It's all good and messianic.
What . . .Oh boo hoo, he hit you and "we" all know that's defined as abuse.
And after all, who but Bubba refuses to followi the science?
Buruthas and Sistuhs:
