The TCSO and its partners are committed to raising awareness of teen dating violence through:
Public Service Announcements - “Violence is Not a Sign of Affection” and “Help the Healing Begin,”
Print Campaign - “If he hurts you, he loves you not – Violence is not a sign of affection.”

Conducting Community Outreach activities with collaborative partners and local youth.
In October, in recognition of National Domestic Violence Awareness month, and in partnership with the Austin Film Festival (AFF), we held a contest for Travis County teens to create a public service announcement (PSA) on Teen Dating Violence. AFF facilitating film-making training seminars, at no charge, for students and hosted panels during the Austin Film Festival for students. The top three selected PSAs were selected from 45 enterees and were announced in February during Teen Dating Awareness and Prevention week. The Austin Film Festival and the Travis County Sheriff’s Office are happy to announce the student winners of the Teen Dating Violence Public Service Announcement (PSA) contest were from Stephen F. Austin High School; they are Amanda Balagia, Maddie Eckert, Hannah Smith, Dean Jennings, Brady Schwertfeger,Judson Vail, Willy McGee and Otto Swingler. The winning films were played on local TV, and screened at the Austin Student Film-making Expo in April. Winning filmmakers also received Sweet Leaf Tea, Freebirds Burritos and passes to the 2007 Austin Film Festival. Stay tuned for upcoming events and contests.

LOVE YA One morning you will never wake up Do all your friends know you love them? I was thinking...I could die toda y, tomorrow or next week, and I wondered if I had any wounds needing to be healed, friendships that needed rekindling, or three words needing to be said. Let every one of your friends know you love them. Even if you think they don't love you back, you would be amazed at what those three little words and a smile can do. And just in case GOD calls me home before I see you again...... I LOVE YA!!! ..Live today to the fullest because tomorrow is not promised. Miss. Mosley
