Ways to Help People Who Use Abuse Learn to Change Their Behavior
Founder of Pax in Familia and CFFP Fellow, Dr. Christauria Welland, a Catholic psychologist with 25 years of experience working separately with survivors as well as those who use abuse shares effective strategies that have helped people learn and use peace-based behaviors. Participants will learn specific skills to help people who want to interact with loved ones in an abuse-free manner.  
Effects of Domestic Violence on Children

Dr. Mindy Thiel, creator of SafeStart, describes statistics, major studies and resources on children who have experienced domestic violence.  She shares effective treatment interventions from the Montgomery County MD Safe Start Counseling Program for children exposed to domestic violence.
How to Help Survivors Assess their Risk of Death (Lethality Assessment)
