The Centre for Research & Education on Violence against Women & Children (CREVAWC) Knowledge Hub presents: Supporting Parents and Caregivers to Prevent Adolescent Dating Violence Through Texts, Peers, and Their Environments
Date | Time: Thursday March 7, 2024 | 1:00 to 1:30 pm Eastern Time (ET)
Since 2019, Shift: The Project to End Domestic Violence has been spearheading the design, implementation, and evaluation of ConnectED Parents, an innovative approach to support parents and caregivers in preventing adolescent dating violence. ConnectED Parents simplifies and accelerates the learning process for parents and caregivers through 60 interactive text messages, offering a quick and accessible way to enhance their skills in fostering healthy relationships for their children. Beyond individual learning, ConnectED Parents involves training community and parent leaders to create a support system and a healthy social environment around parents, reinforcing healthy relationship behaviours.
In this presentation, Lianne Lee will provide an overview of the ConnectED Parents approach, highlight emerging lessons that can shape effective strategies for engaging parents and caregivers in violence prevention efforts, and share the exciting launch of their text-learning modules across Canada.
