Approximately 11 million women and five million men in the United States report experiencing interpersonal violence (e.g., sexual violence, physical violence, psychological harassment, or stalking) before the age of 18 (CDC, n.d. -a). Victims may face a decline in grades, depression, anxiety, unwanted pregnancy, substance abuse, sexually transmitted diseases, or even death (Adhia et al., 2019; CDC, n.d. -a; CDC, 2017, 2019a; East & Hokoda, 2015). Educators are an important mitigating factor of teen dating violence, and therefore, must understand its dynamics to develop strategies to keep students safe (Offenhauer & Buchalter, 2013; Storer & Strohl, 2017; Taylor et al., 2016). A mixed methods study was conducted to evaluate the overarching research question: "What is the capacity of educators to prevent or mitigate adolescent interpersonal violence?" The quantitative section of the study features the survey results of 115 diverse education staff. The qualitative section highlights the interviews of 13 select educators. The data analysis includes a correlational analysis (i.e., regression) and identification of themes from the open-ended responses. Results indicated concerns regarding a lack of knowledge of social media and technology, limited time, sparse curricula, and limited resources to prevent or mitigate adolescent interpersonal violence. State legislation and district policies also limit the capacity of educators to support students' needs, especially those from vulnerable populations who are more susceptible to victimization (e.g., Black, LGBTQ, and students with a disability) (Agius-Ferrante & Oak, 2020; Crawford, 2023; East & Hokoda, 2015; Norris-Brown et al., 2020). Implications of this study suggest that while educators want to help students develop healthy relationships, most staff are not provided the time, resources, training, or professional autonomy to make this a reality.
