The conference will focus on two significant objectives: We will work towards a better understanding of domestic violence dynamics and NOMAS solutions within our court systems. Then, we will concentrate on further developing our community advocates, providing them with the tools and knowledge required to address and eradicate sexism in our community. These conversations and actions are integral to healing our community and putting an end to sexism. We kindly request that you actively engage with the facilitators and maintain an effective and immersive learning environment when attending the conference.

We would be deeply honored by your presence at this conference, where we will come together for a few days of training, fellowship, and healing. We encourage you to share this invitation with your colleagues and associates who may benefit from this event, as it is through collective efforts that we can bring about meaningful change. This conference offers a platform for anyone affected by oppression and the intricacy of violence. It holds particular relevance for a diverse range of professionals, including Batterer Program and IPV Program Staff, Domestic Violence Advocates, Social Workers, Counselors, Therapists, Judges, Attorneys, Court Personnel, Persons with lived experience, individuals at all levels of the judicial system, Department of Family Protective Services staff, and those dedicated to serving clients across various settings. We believe that the collective insights and shared knowledge of these diverse groups are essential in driving meaningful change, and we invite all those passionate about combating oppression and violence to join us in this pivotal event.
