The National Conference on Health and Domestic Violence is now the Futures Without Violence Conference on Health! It’s a new name, but our commitment remains the same: to bring together health professionals, advocates, researchers, survivors, and policymakers to highlight cutting edge research and practice, and systems change to address domestic and sexual violence, with a focus on violence prevention, promoting health equity, and building community resilience. The Conference is hosted by the Futures Without Violence Health Program, with the support of a multidisciplinary Steering Committee made up of leaders from across health fields and the anti-violence movement. The 2025 Conference will be the 10th Health Conference we have held and we look forward to celebrating how far our intersecting movements and fields have come in our 25 years of hosting this gathering!
