Description:
Advocacy. Leadership. Therapeutic Resources. Criminal Justice. Serving the Underserved.
As clinicians and advocates, educators and criminal justice professionals, men and women, we must combine all of our resources to provide the services survivors of sexual violence deserve.  We know that survivors come from all walks of life—from different ethnic, religious, economic, and cultural backgrounds. The more we learn from each other, the better able we are to help create seamless, appropriate supports for those we serve.  Please join us in listening to everyone’s voice to begin creating a culture of validation and healing for every survivor.
Visit www.fcasv.org for conference updates.

We have many workshops to choose from this year, including:
• Sexual Assault Services for the Deaf Community
• Fatherhood and Family Violence: Listening to Immigrant Fathers in South Florida
• Poverty, Housing & Sexual Violence
• Domestic Violence in the Haitian Community

Make hotel reservations by May 5, 2008 for the $90 conference room rate. Valet parking is $20 per day.  Contact the Deauville Beach Resort directly at (800)327-6656, reservation code: FNVWS08
