Community Education/Training
Outreach and education is key to preventing and breaking the cycle of domestic violenceCoaches play a critical role in shaping the character of our next generation of leaders. That character development starts with a healthy manhood.
— Joe Ehrmann, founder of Coach for America and Parade Magazine’s Most Important Coach in America.
We are currently educating educators — coaches, business leaders, hair stylists, teachers, parents, health care workers, and community members — so they too recognize the signs as well as the insidious scope of this problem within their communities. To break the cycle of violence we must start early, with school age children and teens, by creating awareness and healthy models of behaviors and relating.
