Break the Cycle knows many communities may not have the resources to effectively address the public health and safety problem of teen dating violence. We are here to help.

Break the Cycle provides training and support for adults who work with youth in a variety of professional fields. We believe that knowledgeable, trained service providers are the foundation of a comprehensive safety net for youth experiencing dating violence.

• Prosecutors
