- 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.

- 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.

- Short Description:
- Individuals experiencing abuse often first disclose to informal support networks, including faith leaders. However, faith leaders and religious communities often have little training on how to respond to abuse and are unprepared for these conversations. This presentation will review research statistics on clergy response and then discuss ways to engage with faith leaders, encourage them to create safer faith communities, and collaborate for the benefit of victims and survivors. We will discuss cultivating and nurturing connections with faith communities, the ethical integration of faith and practice, how to approach the topic of domestic violence policy in congregations, and how survivor spirituality can help empower healing and hope.

- Over the years, we have been building towards monumental military justice reform. This year, we have never been closer. Both the House and the Senate have introduced bold pieces of legislation to amend the justice system, and DoD leadership, for the first time, is speaking in support of an overhaul. And for good reason. Sexual assault numbers peaked at 20,500 in 2018, and a recent DoD IG report just determined that 64% of military special victims cases did not have appropriately trained trial counsel (or prosecutors) assigned to them.

- In 2018, the Department of Defense estimated that 20,500 members of the U.S. military were sexually assaulted. This is the highest number since 2005 and constitutes a nearly 50% increase in the number of assaults against women (DOD SAPRO, 2019). Despite the creation of the DOD Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office in 2005, prevention efforts have failed to adequately counter the culture of misogyny and harassment in the U.S. military that contribute to the epidemic of sexual violence.

- Short Description:
- This presentation will challenge the ideologies that have been the sole basis of “Batterer Intervention Programs” for more than 40 years. It will propose that a new foundation for developing, running programs and creating curriculums is necessary. It starts with “Following the Science” as one of the multi-intersectional factors necessary to understand violent behavior, actually any behavior for that matter. It is important to look outside the “traditional field” of batterer intervention that includes the scientific research around the neural-physuilogical processes that are the basis for all behavior as human beings. This presentation then integrates the factors of trauma experience and its effects on behavior. To not use this information today as the basis for intervening with those who are hurtful towards their intimate partners may be, at best, “science ignorance,” or at worst, “science-denying/refusing.”

- This presentation explores survivor mothers’ and children’s experience of coercive control, both before and after the survivor mother has separated from the abusing father. Showing how coercive control harms children, it will enable delegates to push beyond the view of children as ‘witnesses’ or as ‘exposed’ to abuse. By understanding children’s perspectives, we can see them as co-victims and co-survivors.
