DATING VIOLENCE The "Dating Violence" prevention and awareness program has two components: 1. "Bar Patrol" Program (in the summer months - when funding is available) 2. "Peer Support Worker" Training Program (in high schools in Muskoka and Parry Sound)

"Peer Support Worker Training Program" Studies have shown that it is far more likely that teens will speak to a friend before a turning to a parent, teacher, or school guidance counsellor.
