The Bureau of Justice reports 60% of women ages 15-24 are involved in ongoing abusive relationships that involve acts of dating violence, which is why EVE believes it is important to begin talking to youth in grades 7-12 about dating violence and healthy relationships.

It is an important goal of EVE, Inc. to prevent dating and domestic violence. Our 45-minute presentation is an effort to protect our youth from the physical, emotional, and sexual abuse that can occur in dating relationships. EVE, Inc.'s Dating Violence Prevention Education Program not only will help empower our youth, but will also allow them to examine their current relationships and identify whether or not they are healthy.

What is domestic violence?
Who are the victims? Who are the abusers?
Types of Abuse
Power & Control Wheel
Equality Wheel
Why victims stay, or more importantly, Why do abusers abuse?
