The Joe Torre Safe At Home Foundation's core mission is to eliminate the cycle of domestic violence through school-based education and counseling programs, as well as community-based projects. An integral aspect of the foundation's school programs are its educator resources, available at joetorre.org/resources/#educator-resource. Teachers and other school staff members of can use the materials provided on the educator portal to learn effective ways to help teenagers who are experiencing different forms of domestic violence.

A teenager experiences teen domestic violence (TDV) when a household member or teenage romantic partner uses physical or sexual force against them or threatens to use such force. Adults, particularly parents or teachers, need to intervene as soon as they notice signs of TDV. The foundation's educator portal has helpful materials on this subject and related topics, such as digital dating abuse.
