We shared the Teen Power and Control Wheel earlier this week, but did you know there's also a Teen Equality Wheel? This adaptation of the original Domestic Abuse Intervention Programs (DAIP) model can help us all understand and model healthy behaviors in our relationships, as well as support young people in our lives who have questions or concerns about a partner's behavior. 🧡💙

Between the spokes, text reads: "Non-Threatening Behavior, Respect, Trust, Support, Honesty, Accountability, Self-Confidence, Personal Growth, Shared Power, Communication, Negotiation, Fairness." NNEDV logo and text reading "Adapted from The Duluth Model" in bottom right. The NNEDV logo consists of 66 small house shapes arranged in a large house shape, and text reading: "NNEDV."]

New resource from our Safety Net team! 📝 In recent years, co-parenting and visitation apps have become increasingly popular as a tool for divorced or separated parents to communicate about issues related to their children. This can include domestic violence victims and survivors who are co-parenting with abusers.

Check out “Considerations for Judges and Supervised Visitation Providers: Co-Parenting and Visitation Apps,” especially if you're a judge or other court official considering how safe and useful these apps might be: https://bit.ly/4jUYjkC

[Image description: Purple, gray, and black text reads: "Co-Parenting and Visitation Apps. Considerations for Judges and Supervised Visitation Providers. When are apps appropriate? Is the privacy notice legible and useful? Are consent requests and user permissions transparent? Are location features required? Is it a mobile app, web portal, or both? What metadata is on images and videos? What permissions are required? How is data collected and shared? What are the data retention and deletion policies?" Safety Net logo above text. The Safety Net logo consists of a house and star with text reading: "National Network to End Domestic Violence Safety Net Project."]
