When we think of violence, we usually think of physical violence, sometimes ending in death. But there is another kind of violence that can have devastating results.

Verbal Violence -------- and it is destructive.

Verbal violence is all around us – in print, on the radio, on television, in movies, and in our daily interactions.

But there is another way to connect with each other – communication with compassion and empathy that sees and respects each individual’s humanity and vulnerability.

Nonviolent Communication ---------- and it is peaceful, yet powerful.

Come, learn about this OTHER way to relate and help to make our world, right now, a better place!
