For Parents:

Parents play a very important role in helping their adolescents avoid teen dating violence.  Although they may not seem to welcome your involvement, teens in abusive situations definitely need the support of their parents. Check out the Start Strong program for some great tips and resources on how to help your teens. 

For Coaches:

Athletic coaches play an extremely influential and unique role in the lives of young men, often serving as a parent or mentor to the boys they coach. Because of these special relationships, coaches are poised to positively influence how young men think and behave both on, and off, the field. From speeches to the team, practice sessions, or simply casual conversation, coaches have many opportunities to impart their philosophies to athletes.
