The A Show With April Hunter 1/25/23: Guest John Enright talks teen dating violence awareness month

The A Show meets Crossroads. Dating violence is more common than you may think, especially among teens and young adults:  1 in 3 U.S. teens will experience physical, sexual, or emotional abuse from someone they’re in a relationship with before they become adults. And nearly half (43%) of U.S. college women report experiencing violent or abusive dating behaviors.

Each February, young adults and their loved ones across the nation raise awareness about the issue of teen dating violence through Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month (TDVAM). This annual, month-long effort focuses on advocacy and education to stop dating abuse before it starts. Youth advocate and social media manager at Freedom House of Parker County John Enright joins April and Big Ray this week to educate us.
