Knowing Our Green Flags

When people talk about violence like sexual assault or dating abuse, there are usually extreme and fear-based frameworks that lead people to think "It isn't that bad" or "It's not like that for me". Youth have reported that checklists of red flags led them to dismissing concerns or convincing themselves that their unhealthy situations aren't worth addressing unless severe harm has already occurred. This is an issue for all of us, particularly for youth navigating dating violence.

Reframing our collective understanding to include healthy relationships, or green flags, can shift our perspectives and approaches to violence.

By centering what people should want, rather than what they should avoid, we can utilize trauma-informed support for what a relationship can be like. Especially if our conversations start early about green flags, outcomes become healthier for individuals as well as the broader communities we all belong to.
