TEEN DATING VIOLENCE
44% of all students have been in an abusive relationship by the time they graduate from college.
Unfortunately 81% of parents do not realize the dangers of dating violence and the majority of schools do not teach young people about this important information. Jennifer Ann's Group provides free educational resources to schools, parents, and to adolescents to help prevent future violence.
We have provided over 500,000 free educational cards and bookmarks to schools, churches, and other organizations throughout the U.S.
GAMING AGAINST VIOLENCE
In addition to traditional resources, we also produce, publish, and research prosocial games designed to help young people. These games are an award-winning and evidence-based approach to violence prevention.
Since 2008 we have been producing non-violent video games that engage, educate, and empower young people about important issues. Many of our published games are about sensitive issues like consent, healthy relationships, and teen dating violence prevention.
We also have games that focus on supporting the use and growth of protective factors such as critical thinking, social connectedness, and resilience. Protective factors promote well-being, violence prevention, and strong communities.
Our games reflect are guided by subject matter experts, are trauma informed, and have been designed in collaboration with independent game developers worldwide. As of 2024 we have collaborated with people or organizations from Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Canada, Colombia, England, France, India, Ireland, Mexico, Netherlands, Portugal, Russia, Spain, Sweden, Thailand, Ukraine, U.S.A., and Vanuatu.
