A Bit About Us

Choose Respect Montgomery:

Choose Respect Montgomery is an initiative of the Montgomery County Domestic Violence Coordinating Council. Teen dating abuse is a pattern of physically, sexually, verbally, and/or emotionally abusive or controlling behavior in a dating relationship. One in three teens in the U.S. is a victim of  physical, sexual, emotional or verbal abuse.

​

The Domestic Violence Coordinating Council (DVCC) was established by the Montgomery County Council in 2006 with the mission of reducing the incidence of domestic violence and creating a safe community for families to live free of abuse.
