Family violence summit to be held in Newark

Those interested in preventing family violence in Ohio will have the opportunity to hear from nationally recognized experts on the subject, and receive training from those responsible for Ohio-based prevention programs, at a two-day summit scheduled for Oct. 27 and 28 in Newark.

Titled Prevention in Progress, the event “is unique in that it will provide a collective forum for stakeholders in child abuse, intimate partner violence, and elder abuse to join together to address preventing perpetration before it may occur,” according to the Web site for the summit. “The Summit will incorporate technology, interactive teaching, and will incorporate local data to engage and empower Ohio communities and social service organizations for greater impact.”
Among the speakers at the event is Kenneth Steinman, PhD, who authored the Health Policy Institute of Ohio’s White Paper on Family Violence Prevention and related publications.

The Summit will be held at the Cherry Valley Lodge in Newark. Further details and registration information is available at the Prevention in Progress Web site.
