20th International Summit & Training on Violence, Abuse & Trauma Across the Lifespan

This Summit & Training has become a unique forum for people from all disciplines and philosophies to gather for in- depth exchange of current information on all facets of violence, abuse and trauma prevention, intervention and research. It is one of the very few Summits & Trainings that include researchers, practitioners, advocates, policy makers, consumer-survivors, and front-line workers from all disciplines to share information, discuss controversial issues, and have the difficult dialogues. Topic tracks span intimate partner violence, child maltreatment, children exposed to violence, at-risk youth, criminal justice issues, sexual assault, people with disabilities, treatment of victims and offenders, trauma and military personnel, veterans and families, elder abuse, trauma in general, substance abuse and more. This year’s Summit & Training also includes The National Partnership to End Interpersonal Violence across the Lifespan (NPEIV) Summit and Research Sessions.
