Quelling Community & Domestic Violence
Presented in partnership with The ACEs Awareness Foundation
Background
Dive into the conversation as experts across the medical, education, and global health fields share best practices to prevent and mitigate trauma.
As we navigate the third year of the global COVID-19 pandemic and face the harsh realities of systemic racism within our communities, the Essie B & William Earl Glenn Foundation for Better Living and ACEs Awareness Foundation remain more committed than ever to giving a platform to subject-matter experts, information, and resources to restore health—mental & physical—to our close-knit community and neighbors.
This year, we are hosting our third annual ACEs Trauma Awareness Symposium, titled “Quelling Community and Domestic Violence.” This will be a full-day event setting the stage for knowledgeable panelists to engage in a conversation on combating community and domestic violence. What strategies can we implement, what policies can we uphold, and what resources can we make available to decrease toxic experiences for children and adults to truly thrive?
3rd Annual Virtual Symposium: Quelling Community and Domestic Violence in Community, State, and Nation, we shine a light on the prevalence of community and domestic violence and ways to combat both.
Conference objectives:
- Share most recent findings on ACEs prevalence in chronically impoverished rural communities
- Offer bold and effective mitigation strategies
- Explore innovative actions undertaken by police departments, religious organizations, health departments, mental health professionals, child protective services, school counselors, and social work professionals
- Understand promising public health frameworks and public policies
