Queridos padres y cuidadores, Febrero es el Mes de Concientización sobre la Violencia en el Noviazgo Adolescente (TDVAM, por sus siglas en inglés), un momento para destacar la importancia de fomentar relaciones seguras y saludables entre los jóvenes. El tema de este año, "Respeta Eso" , se centra en cómo el respeto mutuo puede transformar las relaciones. En The Retreat, estamos comprometidos a empoderar a las familias con herramientas y conocimientos para apoyar a los adolescentes en la construcción de conexiones saludables y respetuosas. Este correo incluye recursos, consejos y oportunidades para unirse a nosotros en este importante esfuerzo. Tener conversaciones abiertas con tu adolescente es esencial. Aquí hay algunas maneras en las que puedes apoyarlos: Reconoce las señales: Presta atención a comportamientos controladores, celos o acoso, ya que son señales de relaciones poco saludables. Habla sobre la seguridad digital: Conversa sobre la importancia de la privacidad y de mantenerse seguros tanto en línea como fuera de ella. ¿No sabes por dónde empezar? Usa nuestras tarjetas gratuitas para iniciar conversaciones. Practica la escucha solidaria: Enfócate en estar presente y validar sus sentimientos diciendo cosas como: "Te escucho y entiendo por qué te sientes así". Usa recursos: Aprovecha las herramientas disponibles para guiar tus conversaciones y aprender juntos. Visite este sitio web para obtener recursos. Recuerda, crear un espacio seguro y libre de juicios para dialogar es clave. Los adolescentes necesitan saber que pueden confiar en ti mientras navegan por sus relaciones.

Las lecciones clave incluyen: Tipos de abuso: Identificar y comprender las diversas formas de abuso, incluyendo el abuso emocional, físico, digital, financiero y sexual, así como cómo se manifiestan en las relaciones. Brindar apoyo: Practicar la empatía, validar los sentimientos y escuchar sin juzgar a amigos que puedan estar experimentando abuso. Establecer y respetar límites: Practicar cómo establecer límites personales y respetar los límites o restricciones de los demás. Relaciones saludables: Hablar sobre límites, respeto mutuo y reconocer comportamientos poco saludables como el acoso o la manipulación. El Consejo de Liderazgo Juvenil de The Retreat es un programa de servicio comunitario para estudiantes de secundaria que empodera a los jóvenes para prevenir el abuso y promover el respeto en todas las relaciones. A través de juegos de rol interactivos, discusiones grupales y oportunidades de liderazgo, los participantes de TLC están adquiriendo las herramientas necesarias para abogar por relaciones saludables en sus comunidades.
