Teen Dating Violence Awareness and Prevention Month

HR 8061 designates February 2026 as "Teen Dating Violence Awareness and Prevention Month" in Florida. This ceremonial resolution does not create new laws or programs but formally recognizes the issue to raise public awareness. It highlights statistics on teen dating violence, such as 28.1% of teens experiencing digital dating abuse, to emphasize the need for education and prevention. The designation aims to encourage existing community efforts focused on teens, though it has no direct impact on individuals or funding.
