• One out of four teens in relationships in Wilton will experience some form of teen dating violence before graduating.
• One out of five high school girls will be physically or sexually abused by a dating partner.

Technology now allows abuse to take place 24/7, even when your kids are “safe” at home. Come learn how to detect the warning signs, hear a survivor’s story, watch video interviews of our high school students, learn how to protect your child and what you can do in your home, school and community to reverse the upward trend of this significant problem.
