Preventing Family Violence is a Yahoo discussion group for people who are interested in sharing helpful ideas for preventing family violence. The media and our government mainly place their attention on what happens after violence has occurred and little attention in seeking the strategies and approaches to keep violence from happening.

This Discussion group is to focus on being proactive, not reactive. What ideas, suggestions, possible approaches, even questions do you believe might be of assistance in moving our society forward helping individuals and families cope with this problem? We seem to be stuck in the same place we were in twenty years ago. It is a time for new ideas, for creativity, for radical suggestions! You get the message. We're eager to hear your ideas!
