BACKGROUND/JUSTIFICATION:
Adolescents experience violence from a wide range of perpetrators that may include family members and dating partners. Adolescent victims experience fear and shame, and social norms that may
discourage them from seeking help. If funded, Community Support Services (CSS) will maintain and enhance provision of teen dating violence prevention information to a wide variety of audiences,
including youth, parents, and service providers. CSS will work with youth at Charlotte Mecklenburg middle school and high school levels, if grant is fully funded. It is anticipated that the grant will be awarded for a 2-year term with funds spent evenly each year of the grant.
Match requirements will be met through already budgeted salaries.
The grant application is due May 1, 2019.
