Many of these questions can be answered using material from the textbook, but conduct Internet searches to deepen your understanding of the issues.

• What are the risk factors for domestic violence?
• For each of the risk factors, you listed, provide one idea of how that risk factor could be decreased or prevented.
• What are the physical needs of victims of domestic violence?
• What are the psychological needs of victims of domestic violence?
• What are the barriers that prevent victims of domestic violence from seeking help?
• Brainstorm a prevention program that could help prevent domestic violence from starting in the first place.
• Brainstorm an intervention program that could help prevent further instances of domestic violence in a family once abuse has already occurred (again, take into consideration what you have written on the previous page).
• Finally, is it possible to blend your prevention and intervention ideas into one comprehensive program that addresses the problem of domestic violence?
