CDC Funds Four Cities to Prevent Teen Dating Violence
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has funded four local health departments to implement Dating Matters, a violence prevention program, across the nation. The initiative, part of a five-year demonstration project, aims to promote healthy relationships among young people.
The selected health departments are Baltimore City Health Department, Chicago Department of Public Health, Miami-Dade County Health Department, and Alameda County Public Health Department. They will implement Dating Matters in 46 middle schools, reaching over 36,000 youth, nearly 1,000 parents, and over 300 educators.
Dating Matters focuses on preventing teen dating violence and promoting healthy relationships. It equips youth, parents, and educators with the skills and knowledge to foster healthy, respectful, and non-violent relationships.
Through this project, the CDC and the four local health departments aim to create safer and healthier communities for young people. The Dating Matters program is expected to make a significant impact on the lives of thousands of youth, helping them build strong, positive relationships.
