16th Symposium on Child Custody: Workshop 10 Evaluation |
The Role Family Law Professionals Can Play in Reducing Firearms Violence Risk
This workshop will cover current research on how children in various communities and at different ages are experiencing violence, including family, community, and gun violence, and the role family courts and professionals can play in reducing harm. Too often these issues are siloed or addressed without adequate focus on the particular needs of diverse populations or without fully leveraging conflict resolution skills family law professionals offer. Specific tools, including a new toolkit addressing the intersection of firearms and child custody cases, and promising practices will be covered to help support professionals handling cases more effectively.
