Today is Trans Day of Visibility 🏳️‍⚧️

Today, PREVNet celebrates gender diversity and honours the activism and accomplishments of trans and non-binary people nationally and internationally.

PREVNet stands against transphobia and discrimination. This is an important time for allies to re-commit to standing against anti-trans hate. Together, we can build a future where trans people feel safe to be their authentic selves.

For Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month, we’re sharing resources to help prevent and respond to teen dating violence.

Parents and caregivers can play an important role in helping their teen navigate the complexities of dating violence. However, studies suggest that parents may struggle to know what to say or where to look for information or support when they find out that their teen is experiencing violence in their relationship.

In 2025, PREVNet and HOPELab conducted a study with 245 parents and caregivers across Canada with a child who had experienced dating violence. The aim was to better understand these parents’ experiences and explore how to better support their needs. Three new resources were created based on the needs identified in this study.

Check out these new resources for parents using the links shared in this post, or view our entire resource library at www.prevnet.ca.
