Teen Safety Matters
Real Conversations. Real Skills. Real Protection.
Middle and high school students face an ever-expanding world of risks. From online predators to dating violence, the challenges are real—but with the right tools, teens can rise above them. That’s where Teen Safety Matters comes in.
Teen Safety Matters is a comprehensive, evidence-informed prevention program that gives students in grades 6–12 the knowledge, confidence, and strategies to stay safe and advocate for themselves and others.
Topics Covered
Teen Safety Matters tackles tough topics head-on:
- Physical and emotional abuse
