This document summarizes a presentation on breaking the intergenerational cycle of violence. It discusses how childhood exposure to violence can increase the risk of adult perpetration, and the impact of violence on brain development and mental health. Interventions like trauma-informed care and cognitive behavioral therapy aim to treat trauma and break the cycle. Data is presented on programs in Ohio that serve at-risk youth using evidence-based models like multi-systemic therapy and wraparound services.
