	For too long, those in the field of domestic violence and those in the field of child abuse have failed to trust each other around one common cause: stopping violence in the families. For Families attempts to bridge that gap through the poignant stories of three families of survivors. Their experiences provide insight into how professionals in both fields can effectively intervene to keep mothers and children safe, while holding perpetrators accountable. Produced by National Children’s Alliance and developed with the support of the U.S. Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs, Office of Victims of Crime, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention

	The purpose of the “I Wish the Hitting Would Stop” domestic violence education (video) program is to teach all children in a 4th or 5th grade classroom about the issue of domestic violence and its effects on children.
	While it is not always possible to stop violence, children will learn ways to try to keep themselves safe and to identify people they can go to for help. They will learn that violence between other people is not their fault and they will learn skills for dealing with their own feelings of fear, sadness, hurt, anger and confusion in a positive way. It is believed the skills learned through this program will be applicable to other incidences of violence, not just domestic violence.
	The goals of the program are to explain domestic violence in language and concepts that are age-appropriate and easily understood by 4th or 5th grade students, to give the children permission to talk about violence, and to provide an opportunity for the students to share their feelings and fears in a supportive setting. Produced by Red Flag Green Flag – Fargo, North Dakota

	Many dangers and frustrations associated with police response to domestic violence are inherent in the law enforcement role. Knowledge about the dynamics of violence in intimate relationships may assist officers to respond in ways that are most useful and supportive to the victim. It may also help officers to understand why their best attempts to intervene are so often met with resistance, and to tolerate the reality that repetitive police interventions may be necessary.
	Understanding the potential benefits of intervening with children exposed to domestic violence may assist officers in feeling part of the solution and contributing to a meaningful community collaboration to reduce violence in future generations.

	You Have the Power – Nashville, Tennessee 2007 – www.yhtp.org Mark Wynn narrates this film with two survivors of domestic violence who share their experiences of being battered by husbands who were police officers. They emphasize the need for law enforcement agencies to adopt a model policy establishing procedures for handling acts of domestic violence committed by police officers.“Sue” is still very afraid of her husband even though they have been divorced for 20 years. He regularly put loaded guns in her face and followed her wherever she went. On one occasion he put her hands around a knife and tried to force her to stab him. He told her he knew all the attorneys and judges and there was nothing she could do.
