The DOVES Program
February is Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month (TDVAM), and The DOVES Program is calling on our community to join us in raising awareness and supporting our area teens. This year’s theme is about fostering healthy relationships and empowering our youth to navigate dating with confidence and safety.
Join Us in Wearing Orange on February 11
On February 11, wear orange to stand in solidarity with survivors and show your commitment to ending teen dating violence. Orange represents a brighter future, free from violence, where every teen can feel safe and supported.
