Relevance

To combat the traumas of dual generation violence and adversity, prevention strategies must be created, taught, monitored and self-evaluated for effectiveness. The strategies must support the need of effective social-emotional skills (communication, decision making), violence prevention, behavior management and financial literacy.

Brief Program Description

In order to interrupt the cycle of the mistreatment of children and domestic brutality, we must reveal gaps in the primary prevention strategies as it relates to the adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). Developing a system that provides education in the form of financial literacy, behavioral regulation and social interactions will decrease the number of violence related incidents in children, youth and intimate partner relationships.

Summary

Domestic violence is a cycle of pain that typically goes from generation to generation. To prevent the dual-generation (intimate relationships and/or caretaker-child relationships) impact of violence and adversity, reactional behaviors must change. This is done through early education and family engagement activities that center around the removal of hopelessness and despair (financial concerns), understanding how to identify and control anger (impact of serotonin on the brain), creating trust relationships where feelings can be discussed (trust-communication), understanding the negative effects of violence on families (socio-emotional behaviors) and learning how to apply knowledge gained in an effort to prevent violence in the homes.

Sociologically speaking, one’s family serves as a primary group of socialization. This is to be placed into perspective and comparison of one’s family, often also being the dynamic fostering of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). Effects of socially-related adversities include peer and community violence, economic hardship and drug abuse. These all impact health and life outcomes.

Emotions have a mental impact on the brain’s serotonin level. When serotonin is at stable to high levels, individuals feel happy about themselves and have a strong positive outlook on life. Conversely, when serotonin is low, individuals have a negative perception of life, are angry and develop violent thoughts and actions. Relationships embedded with conflict such as jealousy, financial concerns, alcohol, and unevenly yoked education (one partner has a much higher level of education than the other) tend to have violent relationships.

Budgetary and credit education (financial literacy) can be a preventive strategy that will eradicate the cycle of violence and adversity. Families with socio-economic concerns tend to have compromised credit scores and pay an average of $6,000 more annually than their counterparts. Financial tension can create a toxic living environment. This can create scenarios of abuse (mental, physical abuse, opioid abuse and suicide) for all who live in the home.

During the session, innovative and preventative measures that support a universal population will be provided. This includes all groups and populations regardless of race, gender, age and socioeconomic background.
