Coping skills should be...

-

high school would need life skills, which in most cases they weren’t taught or don’t learn from home. If teachers can spend ten to fifteen minutes daily with their students now, teaching them these skills, I believe this will greatly aid them as they get older. Ultimately, in time this will inevitably lend to a reduction in domestic violence and casualties resulting from it in our society.

Further, to aid the older men, I strongly suggest the government, more specifical­ly the Ministry of Social Protection be more proactive in its approach. Outreaches and the establishm­ent of more counseling centres manned by qualified volunteers, social workers or ministers of religion will provide alternativ­es.

My thoughts, it is my desire that even if not implemente­d, at least my recommenda­tion can start a national conversati­on on this epidemic that leads to steps being taken or put in place to end this.

This most stop!!! Yours faithfully, Shorlan Christian
