Domestic violence is a serious problem that affects millions of people worldwide. It can have a devastating impact on individuals, families, and communities.

This program is designed to reduce the threat of domestic violence by improving family bonding, improving relationships, improving parenting skills, youth community engagement, and de-escalation techniques.

The program will provide participants with the knowledge and skills they need to create healthy, respectful relationships. Participants will learn how to communicate effectively, resolve conflict peacefully, and build strong bonds with their family and friends.
