Tell friends and family that violence is preventable and real change can happen fast.
If you’re a parent in those tough moments, take a deep breath and give yourself time to cool down before you react.
If you know a parent, or someone who takes care of children, help them out.
Encourage organizations and governments to adopt proven programs and strategies like the ones outlined here
If you’re a funder, funder effective programs
Finally, hug the kids in your life. Bonus: you’ll feel good too.
