Video Lesson Overview
This video lesson provides an evidence-based roadmap for detecting and reversing cycles of violence at the community level. By examining strategies tailored for every stage of the lifespan, viewers will learn how to transition from reactive measures to proactive, relationship-centered environments.

Early #Childhood: Building Protective Foundations
The lesson begins by exploring how communities can disrupt developmental pathways toward future violence by supporting stable family environments. We examine the impact of *Early Childhood Home Visitation* and **Preschool Enrichment**, such as the Nurse-Family Partnership (NFP), which has demonstrated a 48% reduction in child abuse and neglect—key risk factors for later-life violence. Participants will also learn about the **SURVIVE Community Project**, a family-based intervention where parents and children collaborate to identify neighborhood "safe havens" and develop self-care plans to buffer the stress of living in high-violence environments.

#Adolescence Skill Building and Radicalization Detection:
During the teen years, the focus shifts to relationship education and the early detection of harmful ideologies. The lesson highlights school-based programs like *Safe Dates* and **The Fourth R**, which use role-playing to teach conflict resolution, leading to significantly lower rates of teen dating violence. A critical segment of this lesson teaches viewers to recognize "Language Shifts" that may indicate **online radicalization**, such as the use of extremist slang like "red pill," "simp," "cuck," or labeling others as "NPCs". We discuss reversing these trends through **Media Literacy**, teaching youth to question online bias and manipulation.

#Adulthoood: Neighborhood Action and Shared Accountability
For adult populations, the lesson emphasizes modifying the physical and social environment to reduce community stress. We examine the benefits of *Neighborhood Greening**, as research shows that residents living near grass and trees report lower rates of violence due to reduced mental fatigue. The curriculum also introduces the model of **Community-Led Policing (CLP)**, which moves law enforcement toward a public-driven model where the community creates the vision for its own safety. Additionally, viewers will learn practical **Bystander Intervention* tips, such as the "Green Dot" strategy of calling out jokes that trivialize violence to change social norms.

Systems Level: Restorative Justice and Economic Stability
To reverse long-standing cycles of violence, the lesson concludes with restorative justice and structural supports. We discuss *Victim-Offender Mediation (VOM)* and the Austrian "Mirror of Stories" model, which uses opposite-sex mediators to help offenders take internal responsibility for their actions without blaming the victim. Finally, we examine how strengthening economic supports—through the *Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC)* or **Microfinance**—reduces the financial stress that often serves as a primary catalyst for relationship conflict.
