Intergenerational violence refers to the cycle in which violence is passed down from one generation to the next. This can occur in families where children who witness or experience violence may grow up to accept or replicate those behaviors in their own relationships. Factors such as domestic abuse, substance abuse, and mental health issues can contribute to this cycle. Breaking the cycle of intergenerational violence often requires intervention and support. Programs that focus on education, therapy, and community resources can help individuals learn healthier ways to cope with conflict. By addressing the root causes, families can work towards creating a safer environment for future generations.
