Continuing our discussion on Teen Dating Violence...In this heart-wrenching yet vital episode, I sit down with Quin Levy, a courageous mother who shares the story of her teenage daughter’s life, love, and tragic death at the hands of her boyfriend. While honoring the boundaries of an ongoing legal case, we discuss the devastating impact of teen dating violence and the subtle warning signs that many parents may overlook.
This mother’s story sheds light on the emotional and psychological challenges teens face in abusive relationships, the societal pressures that normalize toxic behaviors, and how technology has added new layers to dating violence. Together, we explore what parents, educators, and communities can do to educate and protect teens from falling victim to unhealthy relationships.
She also introduces us to the foundation she started in her daughter’s memory,The M. Ariel Love Foundation, which is dedicated to combating all forms of domestic violence and abuse. Through education initiatives targeting adolescents and young adults, we empower individuals to recognize and steer clear of toxic behaviors and their harmful effects. Our commitment extends to enhancing awareness, education, and support services for victims and survivors. We strive to cultivate a society where every member thrives within healthy boundaries, fostering resilience and contributing to the well-being of our communities.
This episode is more than a story—it’s a wake-up call. Whether you’re a parent, teacher, or teen, this conversation provides invaluable insight into recognizing the signs of abuse, breaking cycles of violence, and fostering healthy relationships.
Join us for a heartfelt conversation as we honor a young life lost and learn how to prevent teen dating violence.
