The article assumes you're familiar with six or seven prevention topics. If you're not, study these introductory pages to get the most from reading this.
This article is one of a series on how concerned lay people and human-service professionals can help to prevent common symptoms of the toxic [wounds + unawareness] cycle like these...
public and legislative tolerance for unhealthy marital, child-conception, and social-environment choices,
unintended child neglect and abuse, and related psychological ("false self") wounds,
significant marital and family stress and divorce trauma, and...
public and professional ignorance of these topics.
This article builds on the premise that once professionals like you are aware of the causes and effects of the [wounds + unawareness] cycle, they have a moral obligation to alert other people to them, and work to prevent family stress and divorce. The first two pages of this series propose three specific steps human-service professionals can take to alert family members, co-workers, clients or patients, and selected target groups of other people on these causes, effects, and cycle-prevention options.
You can use the information in this nonprofit Web site to...
reduce any personal wounds and nourish your own family relationships;
improve the effectiveness of your present professional work, and to...
empower other people to prevent personal and family stress and divorce.
