Lip Gloss for Love is dedicated to providing dating education for teens throughout the year, even beyond National Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month, which is in February. We recognize that dating violence among teens is on the rise and often goes unreported. Over the past seven years, Lip Gloss for Love has provided healthy relationship education to more than 20,000 teens and youths in the Dallas / Ft. Worth metroplex. Our statistics reveal that many teenagers are unaware of the severity of dating violence and unhealthy relationships. Through our program, we engage teens in practical learning to help them recognize and report dating violence, ensuring their safety. Our participants have the opportunity to become Teens Against Dating Violence Advocates in their schools, communities, churches, and families. Lip Gloss for Love collaborates with schools, youth and teen programs, churches, and other non-profit organizations to make certain that teens are educated about staying safe in relationships.

More information on IPV and teen dating violence can be found at https://www.cdc.gov/violenceprevention/datasources/nisvs/summaryreports.html
To curve IPV, anger management classes are available for first-time youth offenders ages 9-17. Our evidence based curriculum through the National Anger Management Institute allows for participants to maximize positive outcomes while organizing their anger and decision-making skills. Youth are coached on how to organize anger and emotions into an appropriate dialog for successful outcomes.
Referrals are accepted from community agencies, social service organizations, court system, employers, and self-motivated individuals. Additionally, anger management and domestic violence classes are offered to adults including healthy relationship intervention. These classes are family inclusive and all are welcomed.
