New helpline for teenagers experiencing violence whilst dating.

Posted by Patrick Woolmer on Fri 13th April 2007 at 02:41 AM, Filed in Dating Safety

A new 24 hour telephone and web based support line has recently been launched in the USA. It’s called loveisrespect.org and proving very useful for a number of abused teenagers, allowing them to speak with peers on the subject of dating and violence.

The Helpline numbers are: (866) 331-9474 and TTY (866) 331-8453.

Let’s see a similar service launch here in the UK and the rest of Europe!
