As National Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month kicks off, Loveisrespect.org is using a real-time engagement platform where counselors are able to receive both chats and text messages and send teens advice securely and in real time. Using LivePersonTechnology, this real time engagement platform launched last night at a VIP musical celebration in Los Angeles, included special appearances by members of young Hollywood and featured a special message from Vice President Joe Biden.
"In today's environment, technology is at the epicenter of how teens and young adults communicate. We're thrilled to be publicly launching our innovative text help-line to empower teens and young adults to seek secure help immediately, no matter where they are," said Brian Pinero, Acting Director of the National Dating Abuse Helpline. "We're very honored to receive the support of Vice President Joe Biden and his lifelong dedication to ending domestic violence. We also appreciate his help in promoting the new LivePerson text feature by sending the first text to the loveisrespect.org help-line."
Loveisrespect.org helps teens and young adults, ages 12-24 navigate the spectrum of healthy relationship behaviors. From the program, young people learn there are options, answers and support available to them every hour of every day.
