Spotlight Resource: Dare2Know (D2K) Statewide Campaign
![]()
End Domestic Abuse Wisconsin’s new campaign, “Dare2Know (D2K), is a challenge to encourage teens to rally around healthy relationships. Our ultimate goal? To end teen dating violence in Wisconsin! Check out the Dare2Know website and be on the lookout for a series of video, radio, digital, and transit ads appearing on digital and social media and in shopping malls, movie theaters, and buses. The campaign will initially appear throughout Wisconsin, including in Green Bay, LaCrosse, Rothschild, Metro Milwaukee, Rhinelander, Ashland, and Superior. Dare2Know is a cause that seeks to expose – and end – the serious impact of teen dating violence in Wisconsin and long-term effects on youth and society. The purpose is to inform, illustrate, and inspire youth to rally together in positive ways and promote healthy relationships in their schools and communities. A variety of resources, tools, and activities, including a youth-led Teen Ambassador Program, will allow teens to actively participate and share their experiences with each other.” Check it out today!
