Today on Tuesday, February 10th is Wear Orange Day 🧡

Wear orange during Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month to show support for survivors, promote healthy relationships, and spark important conversations about ending teen dating abuse.

1 in 3 teens will experience some form of abuse in a relationship before adulthood, which is why awareness and education matter.

Join us by wearing orange, starting conversations, and helping teens know what healthy love looks like.

It makes sense that boundaries feel uncomfortable, especially when people pleasing has been a default for so long. However, with consistency in showing up for yourself, boundary setting begins to feel a little more familiar.

February is Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month.

Teen dating violence is more common than many people realize, and it often goes unnoticed or dismissed. Knowing how to have a healthy relationship is a skill teens develop with guidance and support.

The truth is awareness matters, and these conversations are worth continuing.

Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month 🧡

Dating violence doesn’t always look the way we expect—and too often, teens experience it in silence.

➡️ 1 in 12 teens will experience physical dating violence.
➡️ 1 in 10 teens will experience sexual dating violence.

Healthy relationships should be built on respect, safety, and trust. This month, we’re wearing orange to raise awareness, start conversations, and remind teens that help is available and they’re never alone.

If you or someone you know needs support, reach out. Speaking up can save lives. 🧡

A gentle reminder: when big emotions show up, little ones are often seeking connection because they do not yet have the skills or tools to support themselves through it. đź’›

Communication can be really hard sometime, especially when our bodies feel stressed and are trying to protect us.

This isn’t about being “difficult” or “not listening.” It’s about a nervous system that needs support and patience.

The truth is, kids don’t always have the tools or language to help themselves through big emotions. Their brains are still developing, so emotional overload makes sense.

They rely on adults to support them through our own nervous system regulation and offering co-regulation along the way. đź’›

Therapy is often the space we show up in our most vulnerable selves, and it’s also the space where we can truly feel seen and heard by the human on being the chat.

It’s not easy always and we know that when it comes to screen time and their transitioning.

A little preparation, presence, and validation can make these transitions feel more manageable. đź’›
