Our nation's tolerance for family violence is one of our greatest

ethnic, gender, and religious  groups.  This workshop will take
participants through a personal story of triumph over family violence as
experienced from a multi-trauma survivor and will utilize the feminist
perspective to provide insight into this current phenomena as it has
played itself out throughout our history, to explore the impact of
family violence on individuals, families, and our broader society, and
to highlight intervention strategies that can be utilized at all levels
of practice.
