Embracing Hope, Healing Generations…..One Survivor at a Time

At the 19th Annual Multi-Disciplinary National Conference on Domestic Violence, we will be coming together to recognize and celebrate all individuals who have been working tirelessly to assist in healing our citizens, families, institutions and communities from the invidious scars left by domestic violence. We will honor not only the miraculous journey of some survivors but also applaud each of you whose never failing hope fuels your passion and sheer determination to eradicate domestic violence and heal generations of suffering… one Survivor at a time!

Come join us Halloween week for substantive sessions, dynamic brainstorming opportunities, informative panel discussions, and creative demonstrations; all designed to address cutting edge issues in the investigation, prosecution, responsible research, provision of services, development of informed sentencing options and competent post sentencing measures in domestic violence cases.
