I’ve gone to this conference many times and will be there again this year. This is a great place to connect with other survivors, supporters and advocates to not only break the silence but break the cycle.
Battered Women, Abused Children and Child Custody, A National Crisis VII:
“Now That We Know, What are We Doing About It?”
The Seventh Annual Battered Mothers Custody Conference
January 8th, 9th, & 10th, 2010
(Friday evening, 6 p.m. – Sunday afternoon)
This year, we especially invite grassroots groups, legal, and other organizations to share what they’ve done to combat unjust family court practices that cause harm to battered mothers and their children.

The Conference includes presentations, round-table discussions, and question & answer sessions with nationally distinguished professionals whose work is focused on resolving the complex issues facing battered women as they strive to protect themselves and their children in and out of court during custody and visitation disputes. It is open to lay persons and of special interest to advocates, social workers, psychologists, attorneys, judges, legal personnel, and others involved in the issue of battered women and abused children’s legal and civil rights being routinely violated by family courts, DSS, and other government systems.
