The University of Maryland Community THRIVES Lab is hosting a symposium on family and intimate partner violence prevention. April is both sexual assault awareness month and child abuse prevention month. Aligned with its mission of conducting transformative, community-engaged health research at the intersection of family violence, early childhood, and adolescent sexual health intervention, this symposium will feature speakers from on and off campus and workshops to spur community action to prevent family and intimate partner violence.
Attendees can also obtain up to 5.5 continuing education credits, approved by the National Association of Social Workers. Full attendance at each session and completion of the evaluation form (provided at the symposium) ensure credits are awarded to each attendee. A payment of $75 is required for the distribution of continuing education credits. Those interested in acquiring these credits, information will sent out prior to the event on how to pay.
Who can attend? This event is open to all! Students, faculty, staff, community members, social workers, community health workers — anyone working in or interested in prevention of family and intimate partner violence is welcome.
