The YWCA Conference on Domestic and Sexual Violence and Abuse aims to
provide training opportunities for everyone to respond positively and
effectively to domestic and sexual violence and abuse. The YWCA’s annual
conference invites experts to share their experience in working with men,
women, and children who are impacted by violence and abuse, as well as
information on best practices for services and interventions. Service
providers, faith leaders, law enforcement, court personnel, healthcare
providers, teachers, employers, family, friends, and neighbors all play a role
in aiding the safety of victims and holding offenders accountable.
