Start Strong: Building Healthy Teen Relationships
Preventing intimate partner violence begins with ensuring that young people's first relationships are healthy ones. Start Strong: Building Healthy Teen Relationships, is a national program of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation administered by the Family Violence Prevention Fund to support the creation and evaluation of comprehensive community-based models of prevention that aim to decrease relationship violence and increase positive, protective relationship skills among 11 to 14-year-olds. By strengthening the supports for developing healthy relationships among adolescents at the individual, interpersonal, community, and policy levels, we believe we can reduce the cycle of violence and incidence of intimate partner violence later in life.
