1. A consistent limitation is that only one family member has learned the KASH, and this limitation seems to be especially strong when the male head of household has not learned the KASH. Future programming and mobilization should consider ways for multiple family members, especially men, to learn and practice Peaceful Families KASH.
2. The social/political structure suggests that educating village chiefs and members of commune councils regarding family-related KASH for dealing with conflicts/violence could be highly beneficial.
3. Creativity and study that helps design activities and homework that includes working with material with family members should be encouraged.
4. Peace Bridges should also explore creative ways for multiple family members to receive training and support, especially for attitudes and skills relevant to understanding and empathy. Options may include: both spouses receive full training; offering shorter, intensive training on key topics; participants have homework that helps them develop new family habits.
5. Because children are typically overlooked, KASH related to parenting/nurturing children could also be a very fruitful way to transform family relationships.
4.2 Including Men, Women, and Children
While it is often not practical for training and services to be provided to multi-generational participants, training and services can be provided with an awareness of the needs of everyone in the family. PFP KASH should explore ways to encourage transformation for whole families, and not just participants who are able to attend training. How can participants be equipped and encouraged to share KASH with their families and communities in transformative ways?
