Columbus group to host national family violence conference

The Columbus Coalition Against Family Violence has announced that it will be hosting its first national conference on family violence (Source: “National domestic-violence conference set,” Columbus Dispatch, March 17, 2009).

The event, titled “Innovation through Collaboration: Building a Community Response to Family Violence,” is scheduled to run from April 29 to May 1 at the Hilton Columbus at Easton. Organizers say they expect as many as 500 experts on family violence to attend the event. The focus of the conference will be presenting information on five areas of the community in which victims of violence might reach out for help: business, faith, health care, legal services and victim services.
