LAKEVILLE, Conn.—In recognition of Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month, Project SAGE is sharing student-created artwork to encourage awareness and conversation about healthy relationships.

Aligned with the national 2026 Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month theme, “Real Love Respects,” Project SAGE is using student-created artwork and reflective language this February to encourage awareness and conversation about healthy relationships.
The featured artwork was created by Meriel H., a ninth-grade student at Housatonic Valley Regional High School, as part of a Project SAGE education initiative.
The artwork is intended to prompt reflection and serve as a starting point for thoughtful conversations among teens, families and educators.
Throughout February, Project SAGE will share the artwork across social and email channels, amplify school-based education efforts and participate in national conversations using the hashtag #TDVAM#RealLoveRespects.
Project SAGE provides confidential advocacy, education, and support for individuals and families navigating unhealthy or abusive relationships. Support is available whenever someone is ready.
