Lets start a movement

Lately it has occured to me that much time and energy goes into healing the abused and working with males who have proven themselves to be abusive.  All of these efforts are great for addressing the problem after it has occurred, but what about preventive measures?  In my experience with working with abusive men, very few have a desire to be abusive.  Most just don't know that the activities they are involved in are having an abusive impact or what leadership means if it doesn't involve power and control.  We live in a culture where many of our males grow up in single parent homes that are absent of good male role models.  Or, in homes where the role model is anything but nurturing a healthy home environment.  TV doesn't exactly paint a great picture, nor does the movie industry.  So how can we expect men to provide a healthy home environment without the tools?   New Hope Family Ministries (check out our facebook page) is all about providing the tools.  However, to get men (and women) interested in using the tools I believe that we need to start a national movement of intolerance towards abuse and a passion for healthy homes.  If you are interested in being a part of this journey with me, I welcome your help.
