25th San Diego International Summit on Violence, Abuse and Trauma Across the Lifespan

The Summit is a unique forum for people from all disciplines and philosophies to gather for in-depth exchange of current information on all facets of violence, abuse and trauma prevention, intervention and research.

We are one of the very few Summits that include researchers, practitioners, advocates, consumer-survivors, and front-line workers from all disciplines to share information, discuss controversial issues, and engage in difficult dialogues.   Topic tracks span intimate partner violence, child maltreatment/Adverse Childhood Experiences, children exposed to violence, adolescent trauma, campus assault, criminal justice issues, sexual victimization, human and labor trafficking prevention, trauma in military personnel, first responders and their families, elder abuse, substance abuse and more. We strive to infuse our theme of "Transforming Trauma Into Triumph" into the presentations as well as into the thoughtfulness and professionalism reflected in the Summit content.   The vision of the many Summit co-sponsors, collaborating organizations, exhibitors, and participants is to make a significant positive impact on eliminating all forms of violence and abuse everywhere. We are expecting over 1,000 attendees from all over the globe to come together virtually for an appreciation of multi-ethnic, multicultural and multidisciplinary perspectives. Opportunities for networking are scheduled into the program to enhance informal discussions of cutting-edge research, prevention and intervention strategies, policy changes, innovative methods, healthcare approaches, advanced clinical concepts and skill building essentials.
