Collection: Parenting Toward Nonviolence
One of our main goals with See the Triumph is to challenge the stigma surrounding abuse, and we believe that one of the best places for these conversations to begin is within families. Also, we know that often parents struggle with how to talk to their children about violence, how to raise their children to be nonviolent, and how to navigate representations of violence in the media. In this collection, you’ll find blogs in our series on parenting in a culture in which violence--and particularly intimate partner and sexual violence--are so prevalent.
