N2  - There is growing recognition that culturally relevant interventions with Latino couples experiencing domestic violence must take place at the community level as well as through clinically-oriented services. This article examines structural and cultural issues related to domestic violence among Latino immigrants living in rural areas of the United States. The authors present a culturally appropriate, environmentally-based model for domestic violence intervention and prevention with rural Latino families. The model identifies Latino church leaders as a potential resource in rural communities and calls upon social workers to collaborate with and support church leaders in preventing and intervening in domestic violence in rural Latino communities.<p />
