Domestic violence is an issue that affects the entire family unit. When determining what introduces violence into the family unit, several factors come into play; substance abuse, outside stressors, learned behavior and of course, anger management issues.

The best prevention against introducing domestic violence into the family unit is understanding and recognizing how to express different types of emotion without resorting to violence. Although this may seem simple, everyday problems coupled together with other issues may require outside intervention.
