*“The Addressing Family Violence and Abuse, 14 session learning environment, promote the safety and welfare of all family members. Abuse and violence are behaviors that are intended to attempt to maintain power and control over another. This form of oppression involves inappropriate and unfair acts of one over another. It is a forced process of submission of authority to bring someone under their control. Their power lies in the submission.

Too often people think abuse and violence involves only acts of a physical nature. Unfortunately it includes emotional, verbal, or sexual acts. This abusive behavior is destructive to the body, mind and spirit and directly affects one’s self- worth and personal independence. In reality, long after any physical injury heals, emotional injury may still be present. When abuse and violence happens between family members, it surrounds and greatly impacts the entire family. This is not limited to only parents but includes siblings, children, the elderly, and disabled.
