Pet Abuse and Domestic Violence: How We Can Identify Families at Risk

According to Frank Ascione, 72% of pet-owning women who were victims of
domestic violence reported that their partners threatened or harmed their
family pets.

Join Jewish Women International in a 60-minute live teleconference presented
by Mary Lou Randour, PhD, director of human-animal relations, education &
outreach, The Humane Society of the United States; and Maya Gupta, PhD,
president, Ahimsa House, Inc., serving the animal and human victims of
domestic violence.

The live telephone seminar will take place
Thursday, January 10, 2008
12:00 - 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time

Who should attend?
This comprehensive and innovative learning experience is for anyone who
wants to learn about the close connection between animal abuse and family
violence and how to respond: attorneys . social workers . therapists . DV
service providers and advocates . children's advocates . child protection
workers . child abuse service providers . scholars who work on intimate
partner violence, child abuse, child custody, or family law policy . animal
services agencies 

What you will learn:
. Overview of the problem
. Significant statistics and studies that have firmly established the link
between domestic violence, child abuse and animal abuse
. How these facts have influenced policy, practice and research: e.g.,
development of batterers profiles that incorporate pet abuse
. How we can identify families at risk for family violence
. How we can help children who witness animal abuse
. How domestic violence agencies and animal services organizations can work
more closely together so that families at risk are identified and helped
earlier and faster
