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
Cyberbullying and harassment

Consent, boundaries, and respect

Using interactive lessons and engaging discussions, students explore real-life scenarios, practice safe decision-making, and learn how to access help and resources.

Why It Works

Teens don’t respond to lectures—they respond to authenticity. Teen Safety Matters is designed to meet teens where they are, with lessons that feel real, relevant, and respectful. It helps them recognize when something’s wrong, trust their instincts, and speak up—whether for themselves or a friend.
