​Increasing Family Violence: Unintended Consequences of the Covid-19 Response

Session Length: 90 minutes

Description: ​The current national response to the Coronavirus (Covid-19), though necessary to slow the spread of the virus, dramatically increased risk of abuse perpetration in the home. Additionally, social distancing, self-quarantine measures, and the closures of schools, libraries, and churches has made detection of abuse even more difficult. This presentation provides critical insight into these issues by exploring similar increases in family violence reported after natural disasters and highlighting a collaborative community response that incorporates both human welfare and animal welfare agencies. All victim-serving agencies must be aware of the increased risk for all in these homes (especially children and pets as they often represent the most vulnerable household members) and a potential increase in reports of victimization both during and for up to one year after the Covid-19 pandemic.

Risks of Harm for Children in Domestically Violent Homes

Session Length: 90 minutes

Description: This presentation will discuss the specific threats of physical, psychological, and emotional harm for children living in a home where domestic violence occurs. Common misconceptions will be addressed, including the idea that a child can be too young to be affected by domestic violence, physically observable signs of injury are an appropriate estimator of victimization, and the idea that children who do not actually see a violent act occur are not significantly harmed by it. Other topics to be discussed include: the various forms of child emotional maltreatment, toxic stress, child-caregiver attachment, "unavailable parenting", the effects of witnessing threats or violence against animals living within the home, caregiver risk factors for domestic violence and emotional maltreatment, how to identify victims, and what to do once victims have been identified.

Overlapping Violence in the Home: Pet Abuse, Domestic Violence, and Child Abuse

Session Length: 90 minutes

Description: This presentation provides a unique perspective of overlapping forms of violence against humans and animals in the home. Animal control data and domestic violence data from multiple communities are compared characteristically and spatially to further research on "the link" between crimes against humans and crimes against animals. Patterns in incident distributions and identified "hot spots" reveal startling spatial similarities in report locations of domestic violence and animal-related incidents over 3 year periods in each of the 3 communities included in this project. Identified differences in the most common report sources for domestic violence data (victim in home) and animal control data (neighbor of residence) could prove critical in allowing communities to improve their response to violence in the home and result in opportunities to earlier identify abuse/neglect and prevent future violence in the home and community.

Developing a Multi-Disciplinary Perspective of Domestic Violence
​
​Session Length: 90 minutes

​Description: This workshop provides a unique take on domestic violence prevention, identification, and intervention by enabling participants to develop a multi-disciplinary perspective of violence in the home. Results from my national domestic violence survey of victim serving agencies across multiple disciplines will be discussed. Discipline-specific (and shared) barriers to working with victims of domestic violence will be identified (legal, church, law enforcement, education staff, social services, medical, animal, dv shelter). Participants will learn of critical concepts for overcoming these barriers, developing a multi-disciplinary response, and promoting data-driven, effective and efficient community-inclusive methods to better identify and assist these victims of violence.

Risks of Physical and Emotional Harm for Mother and Fetus

Session Length: 90 minutes

​Description: This workshop provides a unique perspective of Pregnant Partner Violence through the utilization of reports and observations from police officers responding to the scene of intimate partner violence incidents involving pregnant victims. Detailed descriptions of victim-suspect demographics, relationship characteristics, environment/household characteristics (including information regarding children witnessing the violence), incident outcomes, and officer observations of suspects and victims on scene are discussed. Topics include: PPV prevalence, PPV incident/environment characteristics, toxic stress, infant and maternal mortality, attachment, emotional maltreatment, child development, urban vs rural risk factors for PPV, and effective PPV prevention, screening, and intervention.

How Disaster Outside the Home Creates Disaster Within the Home

Session Length: 60 Minutes

Description: This presentation will discuss how disasters outside the home often lead to disaster within the home. We'll review specific major past natural disasters around the globe, explore similarities and differences with the current COVID19 pandemic, and discuss how this info should guide family violence intervention now and in the future.

How Exposure to Violence in the Community Affects Children

Session Length: 60 Minutes

Description: This presentation will describe the many risks of harm (short-term and long-term) for children exposed to violence in their community. As rates of violent crime continue to increase in many communities across the United States, child-serving professionals across all disciplines must gain greater insight into the damaging effects of exposure to these incidents, on the children who reside there. With a focus on the emotionally-damaging nature of this exposure, outcome differences by: race, gender, age, and the nature and frequency of community violence exposure will be discussed. In addition, this webinar will cover the overlap between exposure to violence in the community as a child, and risks for subsequent victimization or perpetration of violence in the home and/or community as an adolescent or adult. Finally, critical components of effective and efficient community-inclusive, multi-disciplinary intervention efforts will be described.

Animal Abuse as an Indicator of Risk for Responders, Families, and Communities

Session Length: 90 Minutes

Description: ​Though responding officers most commonly report domestic violence abusers who also have a history of abusing animals as apologetic, calm, or crying on scene, recently published research reveals these perpetrators often present a significant risk to families, communities, and responding officers. A unique spatial analysis of law enforcement data from several Indiana communities reveals eye-opening overlapping patterns in violence and new information regarding the links between violence against humans and violence against animals.

Overlapping Risks of Harm for Children and Pets in Violent Homes

​Session Length: 90 Minutes

Description: 
This workshop utilizes the presenter’s recent publication in the Journal of Interpersonal Violence to describe specific risks of physical and emotional harm for children and pets in domestically violent homes. Children residing in violent/abusive homes are often extremely dependent on pets for stability, support, encouragement, and unconditional love. Research indicates that children who witness abuse of companion animals are at increased risk of committing acts of violence or abuse themselves in the future, against animals and humans. Protecting children, their pets, and the bond the two share in violent homes is critical to ensuring a more positive outcome for both. Participants will learn of a unique community partnership between Child Welfare organizations, Campbell Research & Consulting, and several Law Enforcement/Animal Control agencies. Findings will be shared from this first-of-its kind project to gain a greater understanding of prevalence, and characteristics of Pet Abuse, DV, & Child Abuse.

Domestic Violence: The Forgotten Frontier
​
Session Length: 90 Minutes

Description: In this presentation, we'll discuss bridging critical gaps in existing Domestic Violence literature, improving batterer intervention programs, greater access to services for children, support for caregivers victimized by violence, advancing research into “invisible” or psychological injury, perpetrator abuse of the court system, and the need to extend Family Violence Services to include pets.
