Dating violence in adolescents
Dr. Meredith C Jones, a clinical psychologist joins Cocoa Pods for this series. Dr. Jones specializes in adolescent clinical psychology. In this episode, Dr. Jones and Dr. Sogade
begin the conversation of dating violence. There are various types of dating violence. These include physical, sexual, and the most common in adolescent dating violence - psychological aggression. These three types of violence are discussed in detail. Unfortunately,
many adolescent relationships are led by coercion. It is important for all individuals to understand dating violence and the health risks that care commonly associated with it, including sexual health behavior. What is the difference between sexual violence
and sexual risk? Sexual violence is any unwanted sexual contact. Sexual risk any sexual behavior that can lead to negative health consequences. Dr. Sogade and Dr. Jones give three real life scenarios involving dating violence. Stalking is also an important
topic. Stalking is a broad term that includes a pattern of unwanted behavior or someone causing you to feel unsafe or afraid. Dr. Jones explains what stalking can look like. Is your boyfriend constantly checking in, asking where you are, popping up? Establishing
boundaries at the beginning of a relationship is very helpful. If you are being stalked, Dr. Jones gives advice for the situation. If there is a safety concern, talk with a trusted adult first. If you aren’t in danger, have a conversation and let them know
that you don't like their behavior. A healthy relationship looks different for each relationship, and it is important to have boundaries. Dr. Jones emphasizes the importance to always reach out and get support if you ever feel like you are in danger! Stay
tuned for part two with Dr. Jones and Dr. Sogade.
