You can help protect children in your community, whether you are a parent or not.

Parents:

• Say NO to violence in your life, even the use of it as punishment and discipline.
• Call local resources for support.

Community:

• Support battered women in their effort to end violence.
• Be willing to listen. Don't ignore the problem.
• Re-examine your own attitudes towards violence.
• Examine how television programs glamorize violence and what you can do to change that.
