There is a new wave of pioneers across the country building

barrier-breaking programs and conducting cutting edge research that approach the prevention of domestic violence from a holistic

perspective. These programs are working to wide-ranging needs of individuals, couples, and families to stop abuse, prevent intergenerational patterns of violence from continuing, and promote healthy communication and healing.

This conference will give these innovators a platform to share their practices and methods of evaluation, and to give conference

participants the opportunity to take these models back to their

communities. Workshops and panels will address new prevention efforts such as restorative justice circle treatment, working with children affected by domestic violence, anonymous violence hotlines, and couples’ group work and will include research findings and methods for evaluating programs. Sessions will also address the challenges and successes of working with underserved populations.

If you are a researcher, legal professional, social worker, advocate, judge, student or citizen interested in emerging treatment models that can be replicated in your community, as well as tools to properly measure the effectiveness of these interventions, please join us!
