A transforming community helps families free themselves from domestic violence, sexual abuse, divorce, teen pregnancy, and other destructive patterns. Urban poor families are going through a major paradigm shift from traditional values developed over centuries in their villages to modern urban lifestyles embraced by their children. This produces relational breakdowns that most families do not survive. Through support/recovery groups of every kind, family social services, and youth development, families will have a opportunity to adapt to the changing world around them.
