In addition, we welcome domestic violence organizations, advocates, community leaders, and anyone passionate about joining the fight against domestic violence. If you are committed to creating safer, more supportive spaces in your faith community and beyond, this event is for you.
Together, we can take meaningful action to confront this issue and provide the healing that survivors desperately need.
Why Should Faith Leaders Attend?
Domestic violence is not only a social issue but a spiritual crisis that impacts every community, including our faith-based congregations. As faith leaders, we have a unique and powerful role in breaking the silence surrounding domestic violence, offering support, and fostering environments where healing can begin.
