These psychoeducational skill-building interventions raise the emotional intelligence of parents, teachers, and kids. I'll attach the brochure for The Empowered Community. No one escapes the proliferation of fear, worry, guilt, shame, anger, and resentment that result from violence. Tragically, the attitudes and behavior motivated by these reactions to violence stir more of the humiliation and alienation that cause violence.
Compassion is the healing emotion.
Data show that we become physically sick, morbid, suicidal or eccentric, crazy, and dangerous when the compassionate part of our nature atrophies. A family low in compassion tends to be high in dominance, abuse, or neglect. A community low in compassion is high in alcohol and drug abuse, crime, and violence. Violence is a failure of compassion. Compassion provides children with a sense of inherent importance, value, worth, and equality a kind of Core Value that prevents recurring states of shame and powerlessness.
