Family Violence

"Family Violence is a Choice"

Family violence begins with a choice and it ends with a choice of self-responsibility. You can choose to be violent or respectful and accountable. By making choices that lead to the respect and dignity of your partner, children, or significant others, family violence can cease to exist in your relationships. In essence, the family violence intervention program is about transforming your life by your choices and actions and developing the skills for making quality choices that lead to positive and healthy relationships.
