Each year, IVAT hosts the International Conference on Violence, Abuse and Trauma (formerly the International Conference on Family Violence) in San Diego, California. The conference holds an open proposal and submission process for interested presenters.
The goal of the conference is to coordinate efforts, to bridge gaps and to comprehensively examine strategies that prevent violence, abuse, and trauma. The conference brings together international and national leaders, consumer-survivors, and those working on the front-lines with children, families, adult victims and offenders.
The International Conference on Violence, Abuse and Trauma draws professionals, advocates, researchers, policy makers and others from a wide variety of organizations, foundations, educational institutes, government agencies, universities, clinics, and shelters. This conference is unique in its cost-effectiveness, in the large array of networking opportunities it offers and in the large number of collaborating organizations which are represented (over 100 each year). |
