Respect Effect: A New Tool for Teen Dating Violence Prevention

Date: 
Thursday, 31 August 2017

That’s Not Cool, Futures Without Violence’s teen dating violence prevention program, is very proud to unveil its newest digital tool: Respect Effect. Respect Effect is a brand new mobile application that supports its users to learn and practice healthy relationship skills while earning points for completing fun challenges with their friends. Respect Effect  was developed in partnership with teens, and focuses on developing and building the skills young people need to keep themselves safe, to promote positivity and respect (online and off!), and to create and sustain healthy relationships. Join That’s Not Cool (and special guests Break The Cycle!) to learn all about this new tool, and how you, like Break The Cycle, can use Respect Effect in your violence prevention work with youth.

During this webinar, we will give you a full introduction to Respect Effect, a new app for teen dating violence prevention, and walk you through the app’s many tools and functions. Curious about using this tool in your work with teens? We will also present a case study, in which our special guests Break The Cycle will walk us through their experience introducing and using Respect Effect in their violence prevention work with youth. We will also touch on:

  • Digital dating abuse and the tenants of organizing youth in digital spaces
  • Best practices for the development of new digital tools
  • Tips and tricks for social media engagement and promotion
