Domestic Violence
Be the solution
Domestic violence destroys families, tears
communities apart, causes profound life-long trauma, and accounts for close to
50% of female homicides in Australia
each year. Wearing a white ribbon and swearing an oath might be a good start, but what communities,
government and people in your neighbourhood are really crying out for are new tools which are able to bring real change.
The Circuit Breaker group course is about churches
and community groups preventing domestic violence before it even begins. It’s
about putting new tools into peoples’ hands before they reach for the wrong
ones, and begin the downward spiral into violence.
"Civilized and compassionate
societies should no longer accept the ambulance at the bottom of the cliff as
their only valid response; what we need is an army at the top of the
problem."
Because the Circuit Breaker course is
about early prevention, this huge social problem no longer relies on a handful
of trained "experts" to bring lasting change. It just takes ordinary
people caring enough to get beyond the talk and really DO SOMETHING.
Will you be the
solution?
