Summary
In this powerful Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month conversation, Youth Prevention Specialist Sadi Geier joins us to explore how teen leadership is more than a confidence-builder, it’s a prevention strategy. Together, we dive into what leadership really looks like for young people and how developing skills like communication, boundary-setting, decision-making, and peer influence can help teens build healthier relationships and recognize red flags early. This episode unpacks: How leadership shapes identity and self-worth Why empowering youth voice shifts peer culture How teens can safely use their influence to create change The role of youth leaders in transforming community norms Through this conversation, we highlight how giving teens the tools to lead doesn’t just prepare them for the future it actively reduces risk, builds resilience, and strengthens prevention today. Because when teens learn to lead, they also learn to love safely, respectfully, and with confidence.
