This conference provides advanced training for existing abuse issues in the community and at university and college campuses. Attendees will receive hands-on training for responding, investigating, prosecuting and assisting professionals in working with both victims and perpetrators of sexual assault and domestic violence.  Participants will learn effective prevention and intervention tools necessary to provide essential services to their clients. 

This event is open to the public and primarily for professionals including law enforcement officers, social workers, victim service providers, advocates, social service professionals and other criminal justice personnel. 

Early registration for this event ends June 4 and offers attendees a $5 discount. After June 4, registration will be $30.
Students are needed to help facilitate the conference if they would like to volunteer for service hours.
