If your students are interested in resources of this nature for parents and teachers, see APA's violence prevention program, ACT (Adults and Children Together) Against Violence. I've recently conducted parenting classes with court-mandated parents in my county using the ACT curriculum and they really appreciated learning how to be better parents as none of them had good role models as children and most of them were abused or neglected. Many of the ACT resources are available in Spanish as well: www.actagainstviolence.org.
