- Intimate partner violence (IPV) victims are often criticized for not leaving their abusive partners, and they are viewed as being complicit in their abuse. The Why Doesn’t She Just Leave? presentation answers this question with new research that reveals how abusers do not recognize fear and sadness in female faces and the grooming tactics the abuser utilizes to trap their victim.

- Short Description:
- How often do providers of abuser intervention services hear the clients ask “why wasn’t I taught this when I was younger”? So many times, the positive interventions of effective communication, recognition of emotions/feelings, and healthy patterns of interaction aren’t taught to the offender until much destruction and damage has been inflicted on others and themselves. Promoting healthy relationships and reducing relationship abuse during adolescence is an important component to breaking the inter-generational cycle of abuse. When working with adolescents however, it requires awareness of their developmental stages and being able to appeal to their learning style in order to be engaging and impact changes in thoughts, feelings and behaviors for long-term benefit. This workshop will review the research and brain science on how to engage effectively with adolescents and enhance relational connectedness through inquiry-based learning strategies.

- Short Description:
- Restorative Justice is a survivor-centered approach to healing that honors the humanity of all parties involved. It offers unique and creative pathways for addressing the needs expressed by those impacted by harm. Sometimes those pathways involve direct interaction with the initial harm doer, while other times it includes those responsible for secondary or institutional harm. This workshop will explore the roots and fundamentals of restorative justice. It will then cover the use of restorative justice in individual and institutional cases.

- Short Description:
- This session will provide an overview of the process of engaging with community to create and work towards implementation of a primary prevention strategy to address domestic and sexual violence. IMPACT Alberta has been working with over 350 stakeholders and members over the past two years to develop and create a primary prevention framework to addressing domestic and sexual violence. Through this presentation we will provide a case study of how we used a community led approach to this work, ensuring that communities across our diverse province are seen and heard in the creation and articulation process. The presenters will review the challenge of aligning community and research, the role that the backbone has in navigating the grey spaces between both groups and the overall impact this has on the successful creation and implementation of a large-scale systems change initiative.
