20/80 Domestic Violence Prevention Approach "Stopping Domestic Violence with Words"

In 20/80 Domestic Violence Prevention Approach: Stopping Domestic Violence with "Words", Dr. Olivia Thompson Green introduces a groundbreaking framework that shifts the focus from reactive punishment to proactive transformation. Unlike traditional models, this approach targets the emotional and spiritual core of those at risk of perpetrating or enduring domestic violence.Rooted in the belief that words have the power to heal, neutralize aggression, and restore dignity, the 20/80 Approach empowers participants to confront not just harmful behaviors but the deeper unmet emotional needs that fuel them. With 20% of the focus on identifying the origins of violence and 80% on restoring self-worth, communication, and accountability, this method uplifts rather than condemns.Dr. Green weaves together knowledge from the Stages of Human Development, behavioral science, and the psychology of love and connection to help individuals reclaim their voice, confront their wounds, and embrace the possibility of change. This approach goes beyond explaining the need to dominate-it redefines what it means to be heard, understood, and healed.Whether juvenile or adult, reader or facilitator, this book serves as a transformative guide to breaking cycles of violence by embracing compassion, communication, and conscious growth.
