Subject: | Teen Dating and Violence Awareness Prevention Week - Resolution |
In the near future, I plan to introduce a resolution designating the first week of February 2013 as “Teen Dating Violence Awareness and Prevention Week” in Pennsylvania. A 2012 Center for Disease Control study found that approximately 9% of those surveyed had reported being physically harmed by a boyfriend or girlfriend in the preceding twelve months. A number of factors can contribute to teen violence and it is important that our communities raise awareness of this issue. Please join in me raising awareness for this often hidden menace. If you have any questions, please contact my office at 7-1427. |
