Training Overview
The San Diego Summit is a unique forum for professionals across all disciplines and philosophies to gather for in-depth exchange of current information on all facets of violence, abuse and trauma prevention, intervention and research. We are one of the very few events that include researchers, practitioners, advocates, survivors, and front-line workers from all disciplines to share information, discuss controversial issues, and engage in difficult dialogues. Evident in our uniquely comprehensive programming, the Summit focuses on linking research, practice, policy and advocacy to promote violence-free living for all. Opportunities for networking, continuing education, specialty certifications, and more make this an event you don’t want to miss.
Now, more than ever, IVAT emphasizes the importance of creating space for professionals to gather and discuss vital prevention, assessment, intervention, and treatment techniques, allowing them the tools to create change in their communities. Partner with us to help end the cycles of violence, abuse, and trauma.
