About this Webinar
A 2021 FUTURES Without Violence survey found that more than two-thirds of teens experienced educational sabotage, employment interference, and financial control within their dating relationships. Yet, less than half recognized this as abusive behavior. Parents, educators, and youth-focused practitioners have an essential role to play in raising awareness to help prevent the long-term personal, career, and financial impacts teen economic abuse can have on survivors of dating violence.
Join this webinar to learn about skills and practices to engage and support military-connected teens in identifying and maintaining healthy, economically supportive relationships.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this webinar, attendees will be able to:
- Describe economic abuse as an aspect of teen dating violence
- Understand the prevalence and consequences of TDV economic abuse
- Recognize racial and gender disparities in experiences of economic abuse
- Discuss the norms and expectations that contribute to economic abuse among teens
