9th National Conference on Health and Domestic Violence (NCHDV) is organized by Futures Without Violence and will be held from Apr 27 - 30, 2021.

Description:
Hosted by the National Health Resource Center on Domestic Violence, the National Conference on Health and Domestic Violence (NCHDV), focuses on the intersections of health and domestic, sexual, and intimate violence. This event highlights the latest research and promising community, clinical, advocacy and public health practices to advance the health care system’s response to domestic and sexual violence, bringing together the field’s leading medical, public health, and domestic violence experts from across the United States and the world.

Over 1,100 leaders in the field joined us at the 2017 Conference in San Francisco, CA on September 26th-28th 2017, to share their work and learn about the intersecting issues of health and violence. The Conference hosted plenary speakers to discuss the connections between gender-based violence, migration, health access, anti-racism work, and community-based solutions to childhood trauma.
