involved in a physical abuse situation.
It also affects the schools, the neighbours, the hospitals, and the
community as a whole. It makes sense then that the solution to preventing and
stopping Family Violence requires a community response. Just as it takes a community to raise a

of preventing violence in everyone's lives.
