Guest Blog, Part 3: How Can We Reduce Violence?

Welcome to Part 3 of a guest blog post from Philip Whitelock, owner at RCMA. He specializes in self-defense training, but also works on education about preventing violence in the first place. Philip is doing a 3-part special series for Adventures in Art Therapy, and I am thrilled to have him be a guest blogger here!

In this video, Philip talks about helping people to intervene in reducing violence.  One big part of violence prevention is loving people while not judging or isolating them.  In general, we are great at responding to violence after it happens, but we can be much stronger at preventing violence to begin with.  People need options and someone to offer these options to them.  If you or someone you know is struggling with the urges to use violence as a form of expression, please contact us for more information.
