Domestic violence impacts every sector of community life—from education and healthcare to housing, employment, and public safety.
The 2026 DVS Conference: Building a Community of Care brings together practitioners, advocates, educators, legal professionals, healthcare providers, and community partners to examine how domestic violence intersects with the systems and structures that shape people’s daily lives. This one-day conference will explore practical, cross-sector strategies, highlight emerging trends, and strengthen collective approaches that support survivors through holistic, integrated care.
Our conference will feature 12 incredible guest presenters across three powerful sessions, plus a live panel discussion and a keynote from Casey Keene, LMSW. Join us for meaningful conversations, fresh perspectives, and ideas that will spark real change.
The schedule for the day is as follows:
8:00 am - Doors open
8:30 am - Breakfast
9:00 am - Keynote
9:30 am - Community Needs Assessment Panel
10:45 am - Session One
12:00 pm - Lunch
