The Price of Love: Keeping Relationships Safe & Financially Healthy is a powerful and practical webinar designed to shed light on the often-overlooked issue of financial abuse in teen relationships. This session will explore how money, resources, and economic control can be used as tools of manipulation, and why these red flags are just as damaging as other forms of abuse. Participants will learn how to recognize early warning signs, understand the emotional and financial impact on teens, and gain insight into how unhealthy financial dynamics can escalate over time.

Through real-life examples and prevention strategies, this webinar will equip parents, educators, youth workers, and teens themselves with the knowledge to build relationships that are both emotionally supportive and financially respectful. Attendees will walk away with practical tools to promote open conversations about money in relationships, encourage independence and fairness in relationships, and create safe environments where young people can thrive—without paying a hidden “price” for love.

Objectives: Participants will be able to:

• Recognize signs of financial abuse in teen relationships.
• Understand its emotional and long-term impacts.
• Promote healthy, equitable financial dynamics.
