Conference Description
Our three-day conference, “Coming Together to Change the World” will focus on leadership, accountability to survivors, guiding principles and promising practices in the rapidly evolving national and international movement toward Family Justice Centers and other approaches to co-located, multidisciplinary services for victims of family violence and their children.
The conference will also include practical, hands-on training for police officers, prosecutors, advocates, and medical professionals in the day-to-day handling of domestic violence, elder abuse, child abuse, and sexual assault cases. During the conference, participants will have the opportunity to meet with survivors and professionals who currently work in Family Justice Centers in the United States and internationally. This year’s conference will have an emphasis on sexual assault. Specific sessions will be tailored to address sexual assault awareness, prevention, and intervention. We are also offering a pre-conference training on probation and a post-conference Learning Exchange Team Meeting for our developing and open Centers.
