Ending Violence Against Women:
Prevention, Intervention, and Systems Change
2-3 June 2008
This workshop will cover multiple domains of an effective response to violence against women. Such a response requires attention to prevention (universal or primary) and intervention (or secondary and tertiary prevention). A comprehensive response includes, for example, community-wide education initiatives, school-based prevention education, empowering shelter/crisis programs, comprehensive advocacy, community accountability, and systems change efforts. Each of these domains of prevention/intervention will be examined with regard to best practices, common challenges, strengths and limitations and implementation strategies. The workshop will include written materials and will emphasize active participation.

Nicole Allen, Ph.D. is currently an Assistant Professor in the Psychology Department at the University of Illinois Urbana Champaign. She completed her doctorate in Ecological Community Psychology at Michigan State University in 2001. Her research interests include intimate partner violence against women, community collaboration, and social change. She is currently investigating the role of coordinating councils in the development of an effective response to intimate partner violence, how to foster broader community accountability for such violence, and how the community response including both formal and informal systems ultimately affects survivors' lives.
Dr. Allen has co-authored numerous papers and presentations and provided training workshops on effective community collaboration and how to evaluate coordinating councils. Dr. Allen has also trained and supervised advocates working with both women and children affected by domestic violence and is currently supervising the Community Advocacy Project for domestic violence survivors in her local community. She developed a manual to support the self-evaluation efforts of domestic violence coordinating councils for the Michigan Domestic Violence Prevention and Treatment Board (DVPTB) which was recently published by the National Resource Center on Domestic Violence and has consulted with the Battered Women's Justice Project (BWJP).
