When there has been domestic violence, we need to not only work with the children, but with the parents, if we really want to break the cycle of poverty and abuse and create lasting change in our communities. When there has been trauma in the life of a child, they need not just emotional support, but tutoring and academic support, to keep them on track in school and their self-esteem high.
