1. All four cases illustrate both the need and the importance of community based help structures in promoting and sustaining peaceful families. Strategic partnerships should be sought with NGOs, churches, local leaders, family mentors, specific villages, and other community institutions. Both new programming and integration of Peaceful Families KASH into existing programming should be considered.
2. PFP lessons should include options generation to help peacebuilders and Peace Bridges see new and creative ways to increase the possibilities for families to receive PFP KASH. This type of integration could also help overcome the limitations listed in section 4.3 (e.g., chronic abuse, addictions, and trauma).
3. Acknowledging that religious ideas and institutions often have a significant function in Cambodian families, more attention should be given to how religious community-based help structures can support healthy family systems.
4. However, the ambiguous nature of religious beliefs and institutions call for more investigation into important questions about: What religious content regarding family life is being taught? How can religious belief be used to support healthy family systems? How open are religious communities to content from other settings (e.g., other Cambodian cultural resources or insights from psychosocial researchers and clinicians)?
4.4 Enlarging the Possibilities
While PFP KASH will likely have positive impacts as a stand-alone program, Peace Bridges' network of community peacebuilders provides the opportunity to extend impacts through integration into other programs addressing family conflict and violence. Peace Bridges should work strategically to identify key partners to equip and mobilize. This includes working with community-based help structures whenever possible.
