You are invited to join us for a two-day symposium bringing together child welfare professionals, domestic violence advocates and their partners in a discussion about the intersection of child maltreatment and domestic violence. Using the Safe and Together™ model, with its emphasis on perpetrator behavior patterns as a framework, participants will work by individual discipline and collaboratively to enhance skills related to intervening to increase child and adult safety and well-being. This symposium will include plenary sessions, skill building and discussion breakout sessions, and panel discussions.
The symposium will give special emphasis to how the Safe and Together™ model can enhance collaboration in communities where co-located domestic violence advocates or specialists work inside child welfare agencies.
The conference will offer networking opportunities with colleagues across the country. (Preconference welcome reception the evening of Wednesday May 8th included with conference registration.)
