The City of New York has a longstanding and on-going commitment to the prevention of dating violence and the building of healthy relationships and communities. This includes funding the Teen Relationship Abuse Prevention Program (Teen RAPP), which operates in approximately 40 middle and high schools throughout New York City, and the Early Relationship Abuse Prevention Program (E-RAPP), which operates in approximately 100 middle schools throughout the City. Teen RAPP places social workers from contracted community-based providers in schools to deliver a comprehensive array of teen dating violence services including prevention education, intervention counseling, staff development, and community outreach. E-RAPP offers classroom workshops, professional development for school staff and administration and training for parents. The Citys Relationship Abuse Prevention Program (RAPP), which serves both middle school and high school students, will be administered by the Mayors Office to End Domestic and Gender-Based Violence (ENDGBV) in partnership with the New York City Department of Social Services/Human Resources Administration (DSS/HRA). ENDGBV will also partner closely with NYC Public Schools, to support RAPP by assuring school participation; providing material resources such as office space, desks, and phones as necessary; and committing to collaborative work that is critical to the continued success of RAPP.
