"Strong families are the building blocks of strong communities and key to tackling anti-social behaviour". 2R’s Women Group is building a strong communities by 1. reuniting the Broken families. 2. providing an education & training. 3. councilling 4. celebrating festivals together with families. 5. knowing each others culture. 6. maintaining arts & crafts. 7. & with many more day to day activities. The relentless erosion of our quality of life in Britain is, we believe, a result of family breakdown and the abandonment of their family values. Social problems such as Domestic violence, Dysfunctional Families, Drug and Alcohol dependency, Anti-social Behaviour, Abuse and Homelessness often have their roots in family breakdown. The evidence is all around us. Our stated aims are: (1) to encourage a return to their family values (2) to provide a 'safety net' for families in crisis Family life - as every parent knows - is rarely ever 'plain sailing'. Sooner or later problems arise. Most families are able to resolve these difficulties within the family unit, but for others the problems are so deeply rooted - that outside help is called for.
Most
families experiencing serious difficulties find it helpful to have
someone to talk to. Some need a 'breathing space', away from the usual
pressures - a place where they can begin to address their difficulties.
Others, with problems of a more
serious nature, may need counselling and a deeper level of support.
Women
Domestic violence Domestic violence is physical, psychological, sexual or financial violence that takes place within an intimate or family-type relationship and forms a pattern of coercive and controlling behaviour. Crime statistics and research both show that domestic violence is gender specific - usually the perpetrator of a pattern of repeated assaults is a man. Women experience the most serious physical and repeated assaults. This list can help you to recognise if you, or someone you know, are in an abusive relationship.
Any woman can experience domestic violence regardless of race, ethnic or religious group, class, sexuality, disability or lifestyle.
Domestic Violence destroys both women's and children's lives.

CHILDREN
CHILDREN WITH THEIR ACHEIVEMENTS AT THE CENTRE
14th November 05 ON INDIAN BAL-DIVS (Children Day)
Positive Parenting and Positive Teaching based on Adlerian philosophy (see for example Jane Nelsen's work on Positive Discipline) instill in children as well as in adults, good values and social skills such as empathy, mutual respect, peaceful conflict resolution, cooperation, responsibility for one's actions through the use of encouragement and democratic principles. A truly democratic society has to start with a democratic family and a peaceful world has to start with a peaceful home. What I found so appealing in the Adlerian approach is that it encourages the child to do the right thing, how to be responsible, kind, etc. because it IS the right thing to do; not because of a reward, a bribe or, a promise - be it a toy, candy or acceptance into heaven... The motivation then lies within the person. Schools and parents may also want to look into the philosophy. The child as a "whole", and so, in the classroom, grace, kindness, responsibility for one's actions, respect for one's fellow human beings, respect for life, nature as well as one's physical environment, self-motivation, practical life skills, peaceful conflict resolution, as well as academic knowledge are taught and emphasized. We believed that the purpose of education was to cultivate the child's own natural desire to learn. For a primer I recommend the book. ”Establishing lasting peace is the work of education; all politics can do is keep us out of war.” “The greatest sign of success for a teacher... is to be able to say, "The children are now working as if I did not exist.” “Never help a child with a task at which he feels he can succeed. These words reveal the child's inner needs: "Help me to do it alone." “Free the child's potential, and you will transform him into the world." “Discipline must come through liberty... We do not consider an individual disciplined only when he has been rendered as artificially silent as a mute and as immovable as a paralytic. He is an individual annihilated, not disciplined.” “The first idea the child must acquire is that of the difference between good and evil” “Our aim is not only to make the child understand, and still less to force him to memorize, but so to touch his imagination as to enthuse him to his innermost core.” How to help a child… 2 “Education should no longer be mostly imparting of knowledge, but must take a new path, seeking the release of human potentialities. It is not enough for the teacher to love the child. She must first love and understand the universe.” “The first duty of an education is to stir up life, but leave it free to develop.”
