"We need to help our young people understand the components of healthy relationships, what that means. We need to give them the tools they need to create those relationships for themselves," Carmen Pitre, executive director of the Sojourner Family Peace Center said.

This is the fourth year this summit has taken place in Milwaukee.

February is "National Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month."

Sojourner Family Peace Center will be holding several other youth summits from now through April.
